Business Etiquette
Informal business dress is the norm, although suits are customary for sales calls and when meeting business associates for the first time. Business cards are exchanged before or after a meeting. Working hours are generally Monday to Friday 0800-1700.
Visitors should be sensitive to the conservative climate the Mormon faith has brought about. Drinking is tolerated but is a sure sign of an outsider. Smoking is frowned upon by almost everyone, due to the health-conscious environment. Family values are strong and, when entertaining clients, business lunches are preferred over business dinners, as after-work hours are considered family time. A business visitor who is invited to a client's home should bring candy or flowers, rather than wine or liquor, as an appropriate gift, although these are not expected.
