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.
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.
