  • Dark coloured, conservative business suits in colours such as blue, grey and brown are acceptable.

Women are recommended to wear:

  • Elegant business suits or dresses in blue or pastel colours with black or brown shoes made of leather

  • Good quality accessories

HIERARCHY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE:

DINING

  • Wait for the Host/hostess to guide you to the dining table

  • Hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right while eating

  • Do not begin eating until told to do so

  • Always keep your hands visible while eating, but do not rest elbows on the table
  • Decisions are made at the top of the company
