If you are new to either Swedish or UK business culture – this is the course you have been looking for. The Swedish Chamber of Commerce’s Business Culture Course gives insights into Swedish and British business cultures and provides participants with the tools necessary to understand and excel in their foreign workplace environments.
The Business Culture Course, on 17 March 2020, is now open for applications.
This half-day course prepares delegates for their career in a Swedish or British company and enables them to discover ways of working more efficiently within the management structures. The course will cover cultural nuances in leadership and management approaches, how to safely navigate the differences in workplace behaviours, as well as exploring differences in negotiation practices, sales techniques and communications. Attendees will also get an introduction to the differences within employment, commercial and tax law and be given a crash course into Swedish and British culture and perceptions.
This course is for British, Swedish or international professionals who have recently taken on, or are about to take on, a position in a Swedish or British company, and for those who further on in their career want to improve their interaction with HQs in respective countries.
"As a newly established company in the UK, it was very helpful for us to get a broader understanding regarding the differences in British and Swedish business culture. I would recommend all newly established companies in the UK to participate in this course. It really gave me a better perspective on what to expect when cooperating with British companies."
Anousheh Abuhamzeh, Head of Recruitment, Jurek Recruitment UK
"The countries are very similar, but there are some key differences. Sometimes, in meetings or during a conference call, I haven't completely understood why an action has been taken or why we've gone down a particular route. The course has been very helpful to see how I can adapt my own style so that I can better suit the company I work for."
