Synchronization Context

Istanbul Business Pulse

Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.

Manila Business Pulse

Culture Highly service-oriented and Westernized in professional settings. Very hospitable and polite.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Standard business hours calls are best between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Filipinos are exceptionally polite and values "Pakikisama" (harmony); avoid overly blunt or confrontational language. Be aware that typhoon season can frequently disrupt schedules and connectivity.
