Best time to meet with Norwegians
Time (local time) | 5-point rating | Reason |
---|---|---|
7:00-9:00 | Norwegians get up relatively early, but they tend to avoid meetings at this time because they value breakfast at home and time spent with their families. | |
9:00-11:00 | This is the time when people are most concentrated and are best suited for business. Many companies reserve this time for major meetings. | |
11:00-13:00 | This is the time when morning work is over and there is some free time before lunch. However, after 12:30, there is a possibility that it will overlap with the lunch break. | |
13:00-15:00 | Concentration tends to decrease slightly after lunch. This may be affected by the short daylight hours, especially in winter. | |
15:00-17:00 | Afternoon work calms down and concentration picks up again. Before the end of the day, short and efficient meetings are desirable. | |
17:00-19:00 | Norwegians value work-life balance and take private time after work, so it is not a good time for meetings. | |
19:00-21:00 | Time to spend with family and friends, so it is almost impossible to schedule a business meeting. | |
21:00-23:00 | Time to prepare for bed and relax, so scheduling a business meeting is considered bad manners. |
The best time to schedule a meeting in Norway is 9:00-11:00. This time is considered "golden time" in Norwegian business culture, and many companies concentrate their important meetings during this time. Norwegians have the habit of getting up early and tend to use their mornings productively, so participants are most focused and can have efficient discussions.
Also, work-life balance is very important in Norway, and meetings after the evening tend to be avoided. Therefore, by setting up meetings in the morning, you can increase participation rates and expect smooth communication. Furthermore, since the daylight hours are extremely short in winter, taking advantage of the bright hours in the morning makes it easier to maintain participants' motivation.
In addition, this time is also suitable for international meetings. Considering the time difference between Norway and other countries, morning meetings have the advantage of being easier to coordinate with business people across Europe and some parts of North America. In particular, if you are holding a meeting where important decisions need to be made or brainstorming to find creative ideas, choosing this time will give you the greatest effect.
