Bases of Employee Engagement

Peer-to-peer engagement is very common, they get together outside of work to organize activities and enjoy being social in the business environment. Helping each other is high as company culture. There is almost no competition and internal pressure among employees that a positive atmosphere is dominant.

Internal Communication and Employee Feedback Structure

Internal communication is strong in Argentine companies. Employees are in constant communication and solidarity thanks to social environments. Free environments are created where ideas are shared. Due to the hierarchical structure, decisions are taken at top levels, but teams are informed about this which increases employee engagement.

Pillars of Workplace  Culture 

Give Importance To Punctuality 

Business meetings in Argentina are usually set 3 weeks in advance. And punctuality is expected in attending meetings. Punctuality is always appreciated, although there is a waiting time of 5-10 minutes. However, if you are meeting with seniors, do not expect the other party to be punctual always.
