The Secrets to your Success in Switzerland

Arriving at your local office in Switzerland, you may see things being done slightly differently as a result of Swiss business culture. We look at the most important local business practices and the underlying values that shape people’s behaviors and mindset.

Topics to be covered

• How Swiss punctuality works

• Why do Swiss people love following rules?

• Be careful what you say - it’s a promise!

• How the Swiss replace top-down with bottom-up hierarchy

• How can you motivate your Swiss colleague?

• The Swiss 0/98 performance culture

• Preparing a meeting

• How consensus-driven decision-making works

• Feedback culture

• Conflict management

• Linear task management

• What failure tolerance looks like

• Written versus verbal agreements – when to use which?

To ensure that your learning extends beyond the online experience, we will work with real examples and case studies. Role plays inspired by real life business situations will allow participants to experience and integrate new behaviors as needed, in a safe environment.

Throughout these topics, we’ll apply a skill-based, solution-focused approach to facilitate communication and learning that embrace diversity, tolerance, integration and empathy.
