Promoting Etiquette
Do your manners make you blush?
If you tend to forget your manners and do the following don'ts given below, it's time you took a basic lesson in etiquette.
· Interrupting someone who is talking over the phone
· Not replying to letters and invitations
· Being loud in public places and offices
· Turning up late for appointments and not apologizing
· Smoking in the work place
· Borrowing but not returning things
· Not apologizing after dialing a wrong number on the phone
· Leaving a room in a messy state
· Not introducing people when in company
· Not giving the phone message to the person whom it is meant for.
· Yawning loudly, whispering, and asking your secretary to do personal chores… the list could go on.
· Become the perfect colleague by:
· Treating your clients as well as colleagues with respect.
· Be punctual, as it is the most valued etiquette at the work place. If you are going to be late try to inform your boss/colleagues/clients. A ten minutes delay should not extend to an hour.
· When you are unable to take up a new assignment, try to work out some alternate arrangement instead of refusing flatly.
· Remember to greet your colleagues with a smile
· A word of appreciation is always welcome by everyone, whether it is for the peon/office boy who prepares your tea, or a devoted colleague or for the cooperation of your seniors.
