Turkish Business Culture for Foreigners

What to Know About Business and Social Life in Turkish Culture

Cross-Cultural Adaptation Training

For foreigners who want to live, work or do business in Türkiye, cultural awareness is essential. Every country has its own social rules, ways of communicating and approach to business. The programme designed by Bersu Ekinci teaches the behaviour, etiquette and communication strategies you need to succeed in business and social life in Türkiye.

Turkish society is known for its hospitality, yet in professional settings respect, courtesy and measured communication always come first. In these trainings, participants learn:

• how to address people in meetings and business discussions,
• the right way to behave at social invitations and dinners,
• the core values of Turkish business culture and its hierarchical structure.

The aim is not only to behave correctly, but also to build strong and lasting relationships with Turkish colleagues and partners.

Cultural Differences and Adaptation

Every culture has its own communication style, sense of time and patterns of behaviour. Communication without this awareness can easily lead to misunderstandings. In this training you will:

• develop cross-cultural awareness,
• learn practical strategies for adapting,
• build empathy and cultural flexibility in business.

Participants learn to adapt quickly both to Turkish business life and to international settings.
