Working in Cambodia provides an excellent opportunity for cultural immersion, whether you work for an established business or start your own.
Although it’s true that Cambodians do not expect foreigners to behave the way they do, or comply with their standards of behavior, it’s important to know how Cambodian culture plays into the workplace environment.
Cambodian society is highly hierarchical. For example, in meetings staff will probably not be eager to volunteer great ideas. Rather, they are more likely to agree with whatever the boss suggests, even if they know it’s not in the best interest of the company. As a foreigner working in a Cambodian company, you may be seen as slightly outside of these rules, but it’s still best to try and be as diplomatic as possible.
