Excerpted from the Finland Career Guide
Finnish and Swedish are the main
languages in Finland; however, business can be conducted in English.
Many business executives and government officials speak excellent
English so fluency in Finnish is not necessary. It is, however, a
courtesy to learn a few of the basic phrases. Showing interest in
learning Finnish is always viewed as positive.
Being prompt is a must. Whether for
an interview or making a promised contact by telephone or email, it
is important to be on time. The Finns are proud of being good and
punctual organizers, and responding in the same way is expected.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
