Business Etiquite & Protocol
In the Arabic work culture, there is a focus placed on trust, morals and ethics when communicating. Qataris rely on closing deals verbally, placing an importance on verbal contracts rather than written contracts. Understanding the local culture, therefore, is imperative to have a positive and productive business experience in Qatar.
Our Business Etiquette session aims to overcome cultural barriers and support effective communication between employees, ultimately creating worthwhile relationships. The session provides an in-depth understanding of attitudes, values and mores of the local culture that are of significant importance to the success of an organization.
