Employee Etiquette
Employee Etiquette is how you conduct yourself in your capacity as an employee to your employer and your co-workers
NEVER arrive at work drunk, smelling of alcohol on under the influence of drugs Be on time for your job. Better still, be early Be respectful to your employer It’s ill-mannered to wear iPod buds in your ears at work Respect the business goals and help to achieve them Respect the firm’s confidentiality of information Respect the firm’s clients’ confidentiality of information Provide your boss with information as required Keep your boss well informed in a timely fashion Brush up on your computer skills. Your employer would gladly invest $24.99 (Aust) to add this magnificent 500 page manual of Step-by-Step Computer Lessons to its reference library to improve staff efficiency. Click here to

Cooperate with your employer Cooperate with all employees Do not ‘big note’ yourself, there is no place for arrogance in this world Wear appropriate office attire, for example correct footwear, not thongs (flip flops) - they are strictly casual or beachwear. No exposed midriff to display tatoos and body piercing. Be neat, clean and as conservative as the business requires It is extremely rude to arrive late for a meeting. It is ruder still to not attend at all. Having a good excuse does not exonerate you
Do not dominate the meeting. All communication must take place through the chairperson Do not interrupt another speaker Pay attention to the proceedings quietly Do not leave the meeting until it is closed by the chairperson Answer your phone pleasantly even if you are having a bad day Always return telephone calls and do so as soon as possible. Show consideration for other people’s feelings Apologise if you are clearly in the wrong. If in doubt, apologise anyway. It’s no big deal and brings closure to a fruitless event Accept an apology graciously and with compassion If there is conflict, do not get personal in your remarks Keep interruptions to a minimum and always apologise if your intrusion is an interruption of a discussion, concentration or other activity Practice good
