01
Punctuality is the Key
Germans value their time and they like punctuality. Casual delays and missing deadlines are considered impolite and unprofessional in Germany.
02
Work and Life in Harmony
Work life balance is highly respected. Separating personal and professional life is a must for the Germans. Germany has strict labour laws which protect the rights against underpayment and overwork.
03
Say No to Disparity
Germany has one of the most progressive cultures when it comes to gender equality whether in the workplace or elsewhere. German women today are in leadership positions be it in politics or business!
04
The ‘Ruhezeiten’
The Quiet culture or Ruhezeiten (The Quiet hours) is another fascinating fact about the Germans. Loud noises especially on public holidays or Sundays are heavily discouraged and can even be considered offensive!
