Regardless
of where you work or the position you occupy within an office, there are
certain implicit and common sense rules that most people have to respect in
order to contribute to the creation of a pleasant office environment. Besides
behaving in a polite manner and avoid arguing in public, there are other
aspects to take into account if you work in an office.
Read the
following etiquette rules and apply them daily!
- Do not eat in the office. Regardless of whether you eat a summer salad or a Shaorma, the smell of food spreads throughout the entire office, which is disturbing for the other people. Go to the dining area or go out, if the weather is nice.
- Use headphones if you listen to music. Do not force your colleagues to listen to the music you prefer, as this is aggressive and rude.
- Put the phone on vibrations. Do not turn off the sound of your mobile phone only when you are in meetings, but also when you perform your daily professional tasks. The sound of the phone, as well as you talking loudly personal matters is not nice.
- Know the names of your colleagues. Even if you are one of the people with a very poor memory, try to remember the name and position of each colleague, so you know who you are dealing with.
- Use perfume, but do not exaggerate. Even if you are very excited about
wearing your new perfume, avoid using it too much, because, in a closed space,
it can be just as disturbing as the smell of food. Do not force your presence
into other people. For overall good atmosphere keep your space clean and inviting incorporate ergonomic office chairs for comfort.
