EmiratesEmirates Meeting Etiquette

In-Person Virtual
  • Join the call on time; greet participants using appropriate titles and exchange pleasantries about family and health.
  • Be patient if the call starts late or becomes disorganised; focus on relationship building and respect conservative values.
  • Use the right hand for gestures and avoid interrupting elders; be flexible if topics shift.
  • After the call, follow up patiently and understand that decisions may take time.
  • Schedule virtual meetings to align with the Sunday‑Thursday work week and avoid Ramadan; share agendas in advance.
