Business etiquette in Ethiopia

Julien

Hello everybody,

As you know, professional habits may differ from one country to another. In order to help newly arrived expats better understand their new professional environment in Ethiopia, we warmly encourage you to share information and insights about the doÂ’s and donÂ’ts in the workplace.

For instance, are there office manners? How do you greet your co-workers? Do you greet your management differently? Is there a dress code? Particular rules to observe? Maybe a professional body language?

On another level, what is key for a successful professional meeting? Are there any steps to follow? How do you a start a negotiation?

In other words, what are the most important things to know for a successful professional integration in Ethiopia?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience!

Julien
