Meeting Etiquette
o Greetings are formal.
o A quick, firm handshake is the traditional greeting.
o Maintain eye contact during the greeting.
o Some Austrian men, particularly those who are older, may kiss the hand of a female.
o A male from another country should not kiss an Austrian woman's hand.
o Women may also kiss men, but men never kiss other men.
o Titles are very important and denote respect. Use a person's title and their surname until invited to use their first name.
o When entering a room, shake hands with everyone individually, including children.
