Danish is the main language spoken in Denmark, with English being a close second. Government employees can generally speak and write in English, and most Danes do not mind conducting business in English. Therefore, interpreters are seldom required; however, it is always deemed polite to know a few words or phrases in Danish and to know something about the culture.

Business practices in Denmark are very similar to those in North America. Formality varies from company to company. In most business situations, appointments are required. Punctuality is a must for all occasions; it is considered extremely rude to be late.

Danish workplaces are characterized by an absence of the highly hierarchical structure found in many other countries. The line of command between the boss and the employees is short and in principle, everyone--regardless of education, position or social status--is regarded as an equal. When working in Denmark, the possibilities are often good for exerting influence on the company and co-determining the content of one’s work. There is a tradition of delegating responsibility, allowing employees to participate in decision-making, and investing in the employees’ further education and skill development.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Denmark guide.
