Do you believe that sharing meals can help people get through cultural barriers in the workplace?

[Etini Willie]

This is obviously a good way to build bonds within staff of an organization. We all know that food has a way of creating bonds between people that eat together.

 

[Chibson]

It won't so much. That's because some people are not comfortable with earing in public. It is better to have close collaborations and working relationships to breach cultural diversity.

I am also among the people who does not like to eat in public and I really do not fancy other people's foods. That is just my nature.

There is no need to create a big fuss when working together. The aim is to achieve the common goals. If we keep on contradicting to each other, then nothing will be accomplished in the end. All of you had wasted the precious time.

I actually believe that snacks can actually be shared among workers but not actually a meal that someone prepared from their home and took it to their workplace.

 

[Chibson]

You're right, sharing snacks or buying for your work colleagues is much better in my perspective. Not everyone will be able to eat your own food you prepared from home.

Due to this pandemic thing, it is not good to share slow food to others at workplace. Unless, you really trust someone who is sharing them. Before the pandemic, it is possible to do such a thing. I guess it depends on what culture you are practicing.

In my country, every province has their own culture thing. It means we have our differences in cultures and practices. I used to work with diversified people. The best way for me to get close to them is through sharing food or dishes that are not the same with them. I must say that it is a good way to make friends with our colleagues in the company.

That's right, sharing food among co-workers can add to a warm and friendly atmosphere. Besides that, it will make them love each other and increase a sense of solidarity together.

When I am still working in my previous companies, I used to share my mom's home-made dishes to my co-workers. At some point, I was able to make friends and build a good friendship with them.

I have tried this and it worked well for me. I also believe that it will work well for other people but that is if truly you are willing to learn or know about the culture of other people.

That's right, it is effective to build warmth and friendship by sharing what little food we have. Because they will feel that we care, so they will like us. Although it doesn't apply to everyone, there are people who underestimate small gifts, it all depends on the person's attitude.

 

[Samuzor]

Yes, it will, think about it. Nigeria as a country is filled with various ethnicity and religions, we have various ideology, culture and social preference. One of the best ways to ensure harmony is with sharing.

 

[Passiveearner]

This is exactly the way it is with most people and some people will even find it offensive when you are trying to share your food with them because they have insecurity issues.

Well, I think that it is very common for many people to share meals. In many countries many people may work and many of those people may belong to different countries and different cultures.

Every company is different in the way they deal with different things so if they believe in sharimh meals with people to keep them then so be it Anything to help

 

[eldavis]

Maybe organize some dinner at somebody place. Host can cook and others can help him. It would be like some type of team building. It can be funny to and play social games.

Yes i have heard about it, some do call it team dinner. Where members of the team come together and eat together, they do not really talk about work, they simply relax, eat and get to know each other better.

 

[Sophie]

Well I wouldn't say cultural barriers but I do know it would get people closer to each other and it's a friendly approach.
We all know a good conversation is best held while eating

 

[Golden9]

If I want to share food with coworkers to promote cultural diversity, I make them a plate and give it to them instead of sharing mine. Some people won't eat in the same plate with you but will gladly accept the one you give them.

Exactly. Personally, I have trust issues, so it's going to be very difficult for me to get close to eat one's food at work. I can take a snacks pack and not cut from someone's own.
