You are the newly appointed director of human resources for a 500-bed regional medical center on the East Coast. One of the top priorities given to you by the hospital CEO when you were hired was to improve teamwork within the hospital. There has been too much bickering and poor communication among departments and within teams. Efficiency, quality, and morale have all been suffering as a result.

How will you set about improving teamwork in your facility considering cultural context? Cultural context involves taking into account beliefs, values perspectives that affect communications among groups of people.
