The British & Low Risk Cultures
Because the British have developed a culture where people are moderately happy to take risks they will often question cultures that do not share the same willingness.
In general the British like employees who are proactive and show initiative. They expect people to work efficiently within their area and improve on procedures as they do so.
Some of the British have the idea that people from lower risk cultures can be difficult to work with because they require more 'hand holding' and motivation to get things done. However, as this is not often the case, a little hard work can easily strip them of this misconception.
Recommendation
When working with people from low risk cultures the British look for qualities such as initiative, assertiveness, and resourcefulness in their employees.
People from cultures where the willingness to take risks is lower than in the UK can therefore benefit from becoming more active in contributing their ideas and views openly in discussions.
