Ramsay Health Care is truly a global organization. Do you have direct experience working for an organization that crosses borders? What would you see as any barriers?
With locations in Australia, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Indonesia and Malaysia, Ramsay Health Care crosses oceans from its home base of Australia to Europe and Asia. The numerous countries they operate in can cause cultural and language barriers for staff. The interviewer wants to hear if you have experience working for a global organization and what you see as potential barriers to determine if you would be a good fit for the company culture.
"Having only worked in Australia, I haven't had the experience of working with and communicating with colleagues in other countries. Offhand, I can see language barriers in communications, emails, all-staff meetings, and things of the like. How does Ramsay help employees with language barriers? If I'm hired, you'll quickly find that I can effectively work with a wide array of people."
"I haven't worked with colleagues from another county, but my current employer has employees and a patient base that speak several languages and are from all walks of life. I think my experience here would bode well in potentially working with colleagues in other countries. Can you elaborate on how our department would work with colleagues in Europe and Asia?"
If you have direct experience working for a multinational organization, talk about your experiences. If not, talk about what you see as new learning opportunities or challenges in working in this type of organization.

I haven't had experience with an international business. If any interaction with overseas requires language translation, would Ramsay assist?
