Synchronization Context

Syncing between Riga and Sydney is challenging due to the 9 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Riga Business Pulse

Culture Professional, reserved, and values reliability and education. A major Baltic financial and transport hub.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Latvian business culture is professional and somewhat reserved. Reliability and clear performance are most important. Maintain a steady, professional tone. Punctuality is highly valued. Avoid overly aggressive or "loud" sales tactics.

Sydney Business Pulse

Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
