Cultural work codes in Denmark

Denmark's reputation as a good place to work is not a myth ! Indeed, the Danes attach great importance to the balance between private and professional life. The normal working day lasts 7 hours and offices usually close at 5 p.m. to make room for leisure and family life. For Danes, results are more important than schedules. This formula seems to work, as the country stands out as the European nation with the largest number of productive companies ! 

At work, Danes are often direct, pragmatic, informal and disciplined. Don't take this directness for rudeness, it is above all a question of efficiency. And it has its good aspects ! Relationships with Danes are simple - they address you quite familiarly, sometimes use humour to lighten the atmosphere and adopt a relaxed style of dress at all levels of the hierarchy. It is therefore easy to communicate with your counterparts, all the more so as the Danes have a very good command of English and sometimes even French or German.    

You can always count on the reliability of your staff - once a meeting has been planned, it will be maintained at all costs! Danes keep their word ! The qualities that you will appreciate in Denmark ? Openness, respect for others and group cohesion.

What is “hygge”? Drinking a nice cup of cocoa, slipping into a pair ofcozysocks or reading a good book in front the fireplace. What is really not “hygge” ? Being glued to your cell phone, frantic consumption, or being confined by rules that are too strict (nothing like the rigour of the Marie Kondo method !).
