Berlin Business Etiquette
Business Etiquette
Standard business hours are typically Monday to Friday 0800 or 0900 to 1600 or 1700, although, contrary to what many visitors expect, these hours can be less, as Germans have some of the shortest working hours in Western Europe. Meetings are usually between 1100 and 1300 or 1500 and 1700, although late afternoon appointments (other than on Friday) are not unusual. Business lunches are common (the person making the offer is expected to pay) but breakfast meetings are rare. So called 'after-work parties' are becoming increasingly popular ways for workers to meet colleagues and friends for drinks.
