Workplace Etiquette For New Employees

Workplace etiquette

It refers to a series of etiquette norms that people should follow in the workplace.

Understanding, mastering and proper application of workplace etiquette will enable you to make good progress in your work and make your career flourishing.

The basic point of workplace etiquette is very simple.

First of all, we need to find out the difference between workplace etiquette and social etiquette.

There are no gender differences in workplace etiquette.

For example, such a gentlemanly manner for a lady's door is unnecessary at work, which may even offend the other party.

Please remember: workplace equality between men and women.

Secondly, we should regard and respect others as our guiding principles.

Although this is obvious, it is often neglected in the workplace.

The correct way to introduce is to introduce a low rank person to a high rank person.

For example, if your CEO is Ms. Jones, and you want to introduce an executive assistant named Jan Smith, the correct way is "Ms. Jan Smith, I want to introduce you to Jan Smith."

If you forget someone's name while you are introducing, don't panic.

You can continue to introduce this way, "sorry, I can't remember your name."

Compared with remedial introduction, it is more impolite not to introduce.

Handshake etiquette

Handshake is the physical contact between people and people, which can impress people deeply.

When we feel uncomfortable with someone's handshake, we often associate with the negative character of the person.

A strong handshake and eyes looking directly at each other will set up a stage for active communication.

Ladies and gentlemen, please note: in order to avoid misunderstandings, you should extend your hand when greeting people.

Remember, men and women are equal in the workplace.

Electronic etiquette

E-mail, fax and mobile phones bring convenience to people, but also bring new problems in workplace etiquette.

Although you have the ability to find others at any time, it does not mean that you should do so.

In many of today's companies, e-mail is full of jokes, junk mail and personal notes.

Remember, e-mail is a kind of professional letter, and there is no serious content in professional letters.

Fax should include your contact information, date and page number.

Do not send a fax without permission. It will waste others' paper and occupy other people's lines.

Mobile phones may act as lifeguards for many people.

Unfortunately, if you use your cell phone, you are mostly out of the office, maybe driving, catching a flight or doing something else.

To be clear about this fact, people who are looking for you by mobile phone may not be interested in what you are doing.

Apology etiquette

Even if you are perfect in social etiquette, you will inevitably offend others in the workplace.

If such a thing happens, it is OK to apologize sincerely.

Express your apologies, then proceed with your work.

Taking your mistake as a major event will only expand its destructive effect, making it even more uncomfortable for those who accept apologies.
