Introduction

Culturally safe experience

When the organization of any field provides equal services to their every client that are coming from different culture, own belief or values then it creates a culture safety environment in the organization. Within this environment, the client feels safely regarding their culture, identity, and community. The safety feeling of the clients during accessing services from their owner is a culturally safe experience. A culturally safe experience respects the culture, experience, knowledge, and obligations, treats clients with dignity, and provides culturally appropriate services

Two points for creating a culturally safe space

A culturally safe experience in any field, especially in the business organization is very important. Any organization wants to provide and deliver culturally safe services to their clients. Nowadays, due to the globalization, every field that provides human services is growing rapidly across the world and gaining clients from all around the world. These clients belong to the different culture, values, and beliefs. Hence, any organization should have to consider the following points whenever they are trying to make human services culturally safe place:

• The first thing that needs to consider during building a culture safe space is the culture environment of the organization. The cultural environment influences the clients hence developing a culture environment in the organization where there is no place of assault, no need of identity like who they are, from where they are coming, or what they want is most important for creating a culturally safe space. This type of environment respects the culture of every client by sharing his or her knowledge, living, learning experience, working together.
• Another most important thing needs to consider is to take care the cultural competency. A cultural competency defines the rules, values, and beliefs of different cultures in the organization so everyone who is associated with the organization needs to work together (Tsuruda & Shepherd, 2016). If the organization will follow the cultural competence and motivates their staff to adopt this then their staff efficiently provide culture safety human services to their clients. This cultural competency creates a cultural safe place from where everyone feels culture safe.
