  4. Chapter 4Practices and work habits in EU cultureWhat do Swedes want from a job? Like many other countries in Western Europe Swedes wants to have a job that provides the following: 1. Good balance between work and family / leisure. 2. A job that truly engages. 3. Security for the future. 4. A good salary. 5. Interesting and caring employees. Åsa Kajsdotter – FOLK

  5. Chapter 4Practices and work habits in EU cultureSweden Do’s:- Be on time. Show up on time, stick to your agenda and finish on time.- Plan ahead. Make sure that you give people time to prepare for a meeting or assignment.- Work hard. Be prepared and make sure that you know and understand the red tape that you will have to cut through to succeed as a business or as a worker. Åsa Kajsdotter - FOLK

  6. Chapter 4Practices and work habits in EU cultureSweden Dont’s:- Use force. Easing your way into a company or into relations with a company takes time. Swedes are not so receptive to new thoughts/plans if they feel that they are being forced upon them.- Boast or brag. Generally, Swedes are modest and avoid embellishing their accomplishments.- Show disrespect. This may seem obvious, but it’s important: understanding the Swedish culture and work ethic will mean that you respect your colleagues or business associates. Watch and listen to get the feel of the situation before you act. Åsa Kajsdotter - FOLK

  7. Chapter 4Practices and work habits in EU cultureBusiness in Sweden – an expat’s view Someone once said that if the Swedes gave up their fika, coffee breaks, they could retire five years earlier. Coffee is an integral part of any meeting, either as an on-going self-service affair during the discussions or as a separate break. The coffee break is not to be confused with the briefer, more frequent leg-stretcher, or ‘bone-stretcher’ – the Swedish word for leg and bone is the same. https://sweden.se/business/business-in-sweden-an-expats-view/ Åsa Kajsdotter – FOLK
