Smartshore in the news: NRC - On work cultures and international cooperation

Our CEO, Jelke Schippers, in NRC: On work cultures and international cooperation

At Smartshore, we work with international teams on a daily basis. We know from experience that cooperation between different cultures can create innovative solutions, but also challenges. Our CEO, Jelke Schippers, talked about this in an interview with NRC and shares his insights on how Dutch and Indian work cultures come together.

The article “An Indian doesn't close the laptop at 5 p.m.” highlights how different expectations around working hours, communication and flexibility impact international collaboration. Jelke gives his view on how companies can successfully respond to these cultural differences without sacrificing efficiency and job satisfaction.

At Smartshore, we see diversity as a strength. We believe that an open mindset and mutual understanding are essential to get the best out of collaboration. That's why we continue to invest in our strong international teams and continue to learn from each other.
