Helsinki Business Pulse

  • Culture Extremely direct, honest, and values silence and deep focus.
  • Lunch Break 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Finns are remarkably direct and honest; do not waste time with small talk. Silence in meetings is a sign of thinking and respectβ€”do not rush to fill it. Honesty and reliability are the most important business values.

Zurich Business Pulse

  • Culture Precise, formal, and highly efficient. Values quality and punctuality above all.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Punctuality in Switzerland is non-negotiable; being even one minute late is considered a serious lack of professionalism. Keep your discussion focused, data-driven, and highly organized. Avoid calling during the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
