Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse
- Culture Relaxed but hardworking. Creative and media industries are prominent.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
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.
