Given the fluid nature of gender stereotypes across societies and cultures, this paper highlights the pivotal role of cultural adaptation for organizational well-being. Through an in-depth exploration of communication patterns between genders, the research aims to pinpoint the gender-based stereotypes that hinder workplace communication.
