We have offices in over 20 countries. Tell me about experience you have working with a global workforce.

"I have learned so much from the global experiences I've had so far. One of the biggest learnings I have had is that words mean different things to different people. It is a good idea not to use expressions or slang terms when working with people in other countries because the translation doesn't come through. I try to speak slowly, clearly, and use simple words to make sure we are understanding one another."

"I haven't had the opportunity to work in a global organization yet, but this is one of the reasons I'm really excited to work at Smith & Nephew plc. I went to a college with many international students and I learned a great deal about cultures and traditions in other countries. I learned a lot about listening to understand versus talking to be heard. Given the chance, I could represent Smith & Nephew plc in a very positive light to global colleagues."
