Fit for Work: Understanding and Navigating German Workplace Culture (Part I)

In the workshops, you will learn:

  • What culture means and why it shapes the way we think and behave
  • Which values are particularly important in German business culture
  • What German supervisors typically expect from their employees
  • How German communication and feedback culture work
  • How a typical performance review is structured and how to interpret it
  • How the application process in Germany typically works
  • What matters when preparing a CV, attending a job interview and negotiating your salary
  • What to expect during your first days at a company
  • Which do’s and don’ts are important in everyday working life in Germany

The aim of this workshop series is to help you better understand German workplace culture, reduce cultural misunderstandings and gain confidence for your studies, internships and career start in Germany.
