Socializing with your Danish colleagues #danishculture #workindenmark #workingindenmark #denmark

The How to Work in Denmark audiobook is now available, and in chapter 14, we talk about socializing with your Danish colleagues. In most workplaces in Denmark, eating lunch with your colleagues is basically part of your job. If you never eat lunch with your colleagues, people might think you're not really part of the group, not really part of the team. On the other hand, Danes do not socialize outside of work. pubs, Saturday afternoon golfing, as much as people do in many other working cultures. Instead, that out-of-work time is kind of stuffed together into 2 big corporate events per year, usually a winter holiday party coming up and a summer party. It's a good idea to go to these events if you possibly can so you feel like you're part of the team.
