Exercise
Having good etiquette at the workplace is very important. However, many people aren’t aware of workplace etiquette and leave a very bad impression on their colleagues. So it’s important to know some workplace etiquette tips.
Among all the workplace etiquette guidelines, the most important is to be punctual. Though being late due to an emergency is acceptable, habitual latecomers are never appreciated anywhere. Arriving at your office on time shows that you’re aware of your responsibilities and have respect for the company regulations. If you feel that you would be late, call and report the matter to your supervisor.
Telephone etiquette in the workplace is very important as well. While talking on the telephone, be polite and listen to what the other person is saying carefully and speak in a voice which can be heard clearly on the other end.
Workplace guidelines are important even when you’re dining with your co-workers after work. If you get a call during the dinner, leave the table to answer the phone after saying “excuse me”. Don’t talk loudly while eating. Greet people well and try to make them feel comfortable.
These guidelines will help you become a polite employee in your company.
