Professional Etiquette

 Professional Etiquette 

Etiquette means good manners. Etiquette is a part of grooming and is about being well mannered, conducting yourself with dignity and grace at the offices. 

Follow theses etiquettes:

* Be polite: Be polite when speaking with your colleagues including office staff and customers. A rude word Will spoiler interpersonal relationships whereas a kind word will always be remembered.

* Be courteous: words like "please" and "Thank you" are very important when communicating. Other words that express courtesy and politeness are "may i" or" it ok for me to..."

* Control the volume of your voice: Do not be too loud as it is a sign of anger. DO not speak so softly that the other person cannot hear you.

* control the tone of your voice: Often it is not what is said but, how it is said that is more important. We can unintentionally create gaps in communication if we use the wrong tone.

* Await your  turn: This means do not interrupt. Often it happens that you are with a group of four or five colleagues talking. The conversation is interesting and somehow you are in a great rush to give your point of view. You may tend to speak out of turn and interrupt others. That is considered rude and selfish. So await your turn and then speak.

* Allow others to speak: Do not dominate a conversation. Allow others to speak so that everyone gets to share their viewpoint.

* Be prompt: if you have a colleagues or customer who needs help, give that person undivided attention and make them fell like you are genuinely listening and give a prompt response.

* Keep your workplace clutter free: it is very important to keep your workplace clean and tidy.  Arrange all loose papers in file and do not put unnecessary pictures on the pin broad. Avoid eating at workplace. A clean and clutter free workplace shows that you are organized and well planned.
