Why hire an Anthropologist?
When you think of Anthropologists, you imagine intrepid adventurers going off to exotic locations to study tribal cultures in Papua New Guinea, the deep jungles of the Congo or to search for the lost city of gold. What you dont think is that Anthropologists are experts in understanding contemporary culture and society too. Yes Anthropologists are experts in ancient cultures but they also have a unique perspective in understanding the world around them today.
Anthropologists today are being hired by companies and businesses around the world so they too can have a better cultural understanding of who thier customers are and how thier products will succeed. In addition, Anthropologists are assisting companies in understanding the importance of cultural diversity in the work place and how to implement programs that help support employees from diverse backgrounds.
