🇵🇱 Polish and 🇸🇪 Swedish business interactions can be challenging due to interesting cultural differences. Our #salesexperts on Sellai platform have observed this firsthand. 👉 In Poland, communication is very direct, with a focus on concrete matters and discussions that often seek conflict. 🇸🇪 In Sweden, there's a focus on the long term, and issues are approached from the "big picture" perspective, with conflicts avoided and cooperation based on consensus. 🌬 This leads to communication friction that can't always be articulated. 🚥 The best solution to this friction is clear OKR metrics, which include 1. Objectives 2. Key Activities 3. Results Also articulating these cultural differences during collaboration can significantly help, even if you have your own in-house salesperson in a new market. #Sellai #culturaldifferences #businesscollaboration #Poland #finland #sweden #nordics #selling #newclient #sales #Internationalsales

Indrek Rahi, the Senior Consultant at TMD Partners and Member of the Board at Thomas International Baltics, really dug into the history and story of the three Baltic countries. Even though the countries are geographically close, there are aspects we are united...and aspects we're separated in. Indrek also provided a manual to solve the Baltic Teamwork Trilemma. Thanks for educating us on the specifics of the region! #futureofHR #teamwork #multinationalleadership

moving forward ...but not only the company

It is almost hypocritical corporate communication to claim that we ensure work-life balance at global companies. However, I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a company where promoting holidays isn't merely a policy but an integral part of our business culture. 🔎 Why is this important? 🔛 Because with a motivated and inspired team, you can achieve greater things faster. Because we want our team to become better versions of themselves inside and outside the company. ▶ TransferGo awards us with super generous holiday offers (which increase every year!), endless Trust days, and at least two days for volunteering. ▶ Combine this with flexible opportunities to work from home or anywhere in the world. ▶ Add top managers who openly share their vacation plans so the team can arrange their schedules accordingly. ▶ Sprinkle in a respectful team that honors work-life boundaries. ⭐ Read more about the practices we adopt. Myself and our inspirational Chief People Officer Sarah Fern Chartered FCIPD shared some thoughts from our daily business life. Thank you Irtautė Gutauskaitė for bringing this to light. 💫 https://lnkd.in/dGF4wPdf.
