Kuwait City Business Pulse

  • Culture Relational, formal, and influenced by energy and traditional business networks.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Business culture is highly relational; trust and personal referrals are essential. The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Punctuality is appreciated, but meetings often include social pleasantries. Avoid daily prayer times.

Zurich Business Pulse

  • 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.
