What to wear
Part of Denmark’s important business etiquette is its manner of dressing. Males would normally wear suits and tie most especially on the day of the interview, however as you go stay longer in the company, you may try to be a little less formal. Females are normally seen in pantsuits, but they appear less formal too if there’s not a big corporate event. However, if you are about to meet high-ranking officers in the office, then better dress formally.

What to bring
Always bring a business card when you are off for a meeting. When you meet a person the first time, shake his hands first then offer your card after a short small talk. Note that Danes’ meetings are structured well, and you are expected to bring whatever is needed for the meeting’s agenda. Bringing a gift is not very common in Denmark, but it is not illegal as well. If you want to give a gift, make sure it's inexpensive, like the ones from your company, and better bring it only when the meeting is about to reach a decision or a closed deal.

What to expect
Punctuality is taken seriously in Denmark. Always arrive on time, and should you be late, always inform in advance and explain yourself in some way when you arrive. Although very punctual, Danes do not start the agenda of the meeting right away, they settle for a 15-minute small talk before finally discussing with their counterparts.

What you should know
Danes are good listeners and are very patient in negotiations. They are known to discuss a decision with the entire team to reach a consensus, rather than do a votation or leave one person to give the final decision. Easy-going as Danes are in the corporate scene, they are known to always prefer a win-win deal.

The structure inside a Danish office is flat hierarchical. Most people who are not familiar with a company can’t even determine who is the boss inside the office. That being said, companies in Denmark have a professional atmosphere but have a management structure that is a little informal compared to other countries. Employees get to talk to their bosses and high-ranking officers can take their concerns directly to rank and file employees.

Women will definitely have no problem working in Denmark. The country was regarded in Europe as the one that has the most females in the labor force and that encompasses from low ranking positions to executive positions. The gap between genders is very small and is actually seen as equal in society.
