I generally offer to shake hands if it's any man or Western(ised) woman.
I don't offer any physical contact (just a friendly smile and "Hello") to any woman in Muslim dress (very rare in the companies I've worked in) or who's from the Middle East, unless they offer it first.
That seems to have served me well over the years.Hard Brexit now!

I never fully understand this, although I'm guilty of succumbing to it too.
Someone comes over to the UK and they may have a different cultural way of greeting than we do, so we spend energy trying to work out the correct way of responding. If you then go visit them in their country, they still greet using their own "cultural norm", so it's nothing to do with guest vs host.
I've actually had French and Dutch women insisting on cheek-kissing and acting offended if I'm standing with my hand out to shake instead.
Is it because we generally insist on them learning a proper language instead of using their own barbarian tongues, so we make up for it by allowing them to practice their own non-verbal greeting instead as a compromise?Comment

I enjoy reading about cultures, so tend to try and find out what I should expect on getting to a country. If a furner turns up here, of whom I have no idea of his/her provenance, I follow their lead.Comment
