Christchurch Business Pulse
- Culture Hardworking, resilient, and professional. Values "kiwi ingenuity" and community.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Like the rest of New Zealand, the vibe is friendly and professional. Resiliency is a key trait here. Be mindful of the time difference; early morning in NZ is late afternoon on the US West Coast. Avoid calling late on Friday.
Dubai Business Pulse
- Culture International and multicultural. Sunday is a standard working day, while Friday is often a half-day or holiday.
- Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The traditional UAE work week is Monday to Friday, but many local businesses and government entities may have shorter hours on Fridays (ending around 12:00 PM). Sunday is no longer a weekend for most, but always verify your contact's specific schedule as multicultural teams vary.
