How many of us have worked in an office or continues to work in an office and are sometimes appalled at the behavior of some of our co-workers?Today I would like to share with you a little on proper office etiquette. I believe that it is very important to carry ourselves and behave in a professional manner at all times. Office etiquette is all those positive values that we bring to that environment. It goes beyond common courtesies like good morning. It is about having integrity and being thoughtful and respectful to others.
Remember you have to' co-habit' with a group of people for eight hours or more so you want to ensure that there is a good 'harmonial' relationship in order to achieve the company's objectives. I know sometimes this might be a bit challenging because you have to work with individuals of varying personalities and there may be times when they can get on your nerves. However once you do what you have to you would be amazed as to how others would respect and support you.
One of the things you do not want to do is show up late for work. This tends to indicate a lack of respect not just for others but also yourself. Also by showing up late may have others questioning your reliability as it pertains to the job.
Another thing you do not want to do is use inappropriate language. It is really distasteful to hear swear words in an office environment or any environment for that matter. Please do not shout across the office as though you are in a field. Use soft tones to communicate.
This is the one that gets me the most. Inappropriate dressing. Please keep the dangle earrings, flip flops, too short or extremely tight attire out of the office. You want to dress in a manner that is professional. A manner that reflects good leadership qualities.
Therefore maintain your focus and complete the objectives.
"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Remember to dress with Fi-nesse.. Be unique. Catherine <3
