Etiquette is the behavior accepted as gracious and
polite and it can represent the difference between success and failure in many
aspects of life. Etiquette varies widely from culture to culture and setting to
setting. Professional etiquette is the code of conduct regarding the
interactions among the members of a business setting. The basic rules of
professional etiquette are arrive on time, dress appropriately, never interrupt
a conversation, praise others for a good job, never take credit for other
people’s work and many others. But there are situations where the etiquette
rules need to be applied: for instance, very often in the workplace, it’s required
to complete tasks together with a team. There are also some rules of etiquette
when it comes to teamwork, which include take initiative, share your thoughts
and consider others’, be prepared, fully engaged in discussions, and
especially, be adaptable and flexible. When sending an email, do not use all caps, always include a subject, address your contact with the
appropriate level of formality and make the habit of composing the emails from
a computer and not from a phone. It is also very important to be concise, reply
within 48 hours and set a default signature with your contact information.
The way you use your personal cellphone at work can
negatively impact how you’re viewed. There are some simple rules that need to
be followed in order to maintain your professionalism: do not answer while
meeting with someone (it’s better to turn it off or at least put in on
vibrate). If you’re expecting an important call, inform the others prior to any
meeting.
I hope that following these simple rules will help
you adopt the best behavior not only in school or at work, but in all
interpersonal environments. For any questions or advice, you’re welcome to come
