Ottawa Business Pulse
- Culture Formal, professional, and influenced by government and high-tech industries.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Ottawa is the capital of Canada; expect high professional standards and formal protocols. It is also a major tech hub. Punctuality and clear communication are highly valued. Avoid calling late on Friday afternoon.
Seoul Business Pulse
- Culture Extremely hardworking and hierarchical. "Pali-pali" (hurry-hurry) culture drives rapid growth.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. South Koreans value speed ("Pali-pali") and expect rapid responses. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour strictly. Ensure you follow hierarchical protocols if senior leaders are present, and never arrive (digitally or in-person) late for a call.
