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 Ukraine, we warmly encourage you to share information and insights about the do's and don'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 Ukraine?
Thank you in advance for sharing your experience!

Business etiquette in Ukraine
A couple of things that always struck me since being here-
1) not everyone needs to/should wear a suit and tie to work like in England. Smart jeans and a shirt (or even t shirt sometimes!) will suffice in some companies
2) All the men seem to shake other's hand ALL the time.
3) everyone also seems to a manager in some way-office administrators are called 'office managers' and then there's junior managers and senior managers etc. But everyone seems to have the designation 'manager' in their job title.
4) Business lunches are a thing and they are, for the most part, awesome!
