Australian business people traveling abroad are more likely to offend while doing business in America and the UK than any other country, according to an international workplace survey released today. The Servcorp International Business Etiquette Index has uncovered that those in the United States and UK have the strictest workplace etiquette and are more easily offended by common business practices than Japan, China and the Middle East.

The study was commissioned to uncover the countries with the strictest business etiquettes and to reveal mistakes that Australian businessmen and professionals commonly make when doing business abroad.

AUSTRALIAN business types are a rude bunch, according to a survey by Servcorp, which reckons a healthy/disgraceful (delete where applicable) 25 per cent of us are relaxed and comfortable with dropping rude words on the international business stage, compared with nearly zero per cent in the US and even in Britain, where Gordon Ramsay has possibly expended the national quota. Other mistakes we apparently make include speaking too loudly across the room, taking personal calls at work, and asking colleagues and business partners about their personal lives; sounds a bit like a newsroom to us.
