INTRODUCTION
Culture refers to a term which includes the social behaviour and norms which are found
in human societies as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities and habits
of the individuals in these groups (Dandeker, 2021). Thus, it becomes quite important that a
thorough analysis of the culture can be made for the particular purpose of ensuring that the

can help in managing out the particular level of needs and requirements quite appropriately.
Thus, it is necessary for him to understand the culture of Namibia first and then assess the reason
of this type of absence of the staff members. This will be quite helpful in ensuring that the
appropriate steps can be taken for solving this particular problem.
It is necessary that the counselling of the staff members is done by Marcus. This will thus be
