 Include titles on your business cards.
 It is important that you be invited by your Polish colleagues to be on a first
name basis.
 Building relationships is key. Poles
want to know who you are and what
your values are before doing business.
 Developing that strong bond is vital.
 Trust is very important in business
connections.
 Be ready for small talk at the
beginning of a meeting.
 This will help your Polish colleagues
get to know you better and become
more confident in creating a bond
with you.
 Respect authority; remember that
Polish businesses are hierarchical.
 The most senior members of a
company will often make the final
decisions, and know that the most
senior member in a meeting will set
a verbal agenda.
 Go that extra mile and impress your
Polish colleagues by getting a Polish
translation of all relevant
documents.
 Learning a few Polish phrases will

time.
 Don’t be surprised if a business lunch
starts at 4:00 p.m., as the Polish
workday is ending.
 Lunches and dinners help your Polish
colleagues build relationships with you.
 Be political: your Polish colleagues
take great care in deciphering the
emotions of the other person in order
to tailor any remarks accordingly.
After a relationship has been
recognized, Poles will become more
honest. It is also considered rude to
keep your hands in your pockets and
to sit with one ankle rested on your
knee.
 Dress conservatively.
 Men and women both should wear suits
when working with big companies.
 When working with a small or medium-
sized company, dress can be more casual.
Always wear passive colors, like black,
grey, brown or beige, rather than vivid
colors. Women should avoid too much
jewelry.
 The Polish business culture is modest and
conservative. Always make sure your
clothes are well cared for, always wrinkle
free.
