The Protocol School of Washington® Stresses the Vital Role Protocol Officers Play in the Global Marketplace as part of National Protocol Officer Week

WASHINGTON, March 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nearly 2 out of 3 global job seekers are willing to move abroad for work, a high proportion that speaks to the evolving international marketplace, according to a 2014 study by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the world's leading management consultancies, and The Network, a global alliance of recruitment websites.

As part of National Protocol Officer Week (March 29-April 4), an annual designation focusing on the important role Protocol Officers play in cross-cultural communications, Pamela Eyring, president and owner of The Protocol School of Washington, says that following the customs and etiquette of a host country can lead to mutual respect.

"As more workers move toward global employment, it is crucial that they learn the protocol and practices of a new work territory," according to Eyring. "From advising banking executives on whether to shake hands or bow when meeting Japanese clients or guiding female politicians on the current use of head scarves in the Middle East, protocol officers are the unsung superheroes of international commerce and diplomacy," said Eyring.

Protocol officers help international workers understand the principals under which other cultures operate and how their own customs and culture might be perceived, or perhaps, misperceived, according to Eyring.

"Knowing the difference is knowing how to build successful financial and political relationships," she said.

In honor of National Protocol Officer Week, PSOW is sponsoring a "Superhero Moment Contest" for a student to win a complimentary tuition ($6800.00 value) to any scheduled 2015 Protocol Officer Training. To apply, entrants must submit a video or photomontage that highlights a protocol superhero moment they have been a part of—or entrants may also nominate someone else they feel is worthy of being recognized for protocol expertise.
