Poland Cultural Training
Doing business in Poland isn't like going on holiday: don't expect to get by with knowledge of a few words, and don't assume business is conducted in the same way universally.
But how can you properly prepare to do business in Poland? There are many cultural training companies and schools which can help you. They offer cross-cultural grounding, bridging the translatory and protocolic gaps between nations and people.
Providing guidance in all areas of business and sociality, these cultural training companies are experts when it comes to negotiation training; management training; and diversity training. All training, of course, can be country-specific.
Tutorials can take many forms, so investigate which will be right for you and, if necessary, your employees.
Business Etiquette in Poland
The formalities and informalities; the how dyou dos and how dyou donts. Etiquette is one of the foundations of modern civilisation, and business is no exception. A business blunder, in some countries, could mean the difference between a deal and disrepute. Again, its all about culture if not adopting, at least recognising and respecting the traditions and protocols of a people.
In Poland, a formal approach is taken to business. For a company expanding in Poland, knowing a few formalities will place you at an advantage. For instance, when initially meeting, it is polite to address people by their title; Pan for a man and Pani for a woman, followed by their surname. Trust is seen as paramount in Polish society, so anyone setting up a business in Poland will need to build a relationship with his or her client. Poles take a direct approach to discussing business and usually make very thorough and structured decisions. When dining, it is also customary for several toasts to be made with hard liquor, so be prepared.
