Do we need to give a thought on this?


Well, I think our office is one of the best among its contemporaries, when considering the administration and management. It’s amazing how we take everything for granted.... Do we know why people take everything for granted…. Well, I believe it is because they hold the (mistaken) belief that somehow, someway -- they are 'entitled' to whatever comes their way....

“It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.” — Dick Cheney, Vice President of the United States.

Chanakya says, “One doing whatever pleases him does not achieve anything”.

There is a certain manner that we are expected to behave in the workplace. These mannerisms are called workplace etiquette. When a person steps into his office, he is supposed to leave everything else behind and put on a professional face. Hopefully, the following tips will not only help one make a good impression, but will also help him/her advance in his/her career.

  • Extended Breaks - One of the most annoying things for other employees or for managers and supervisors is employees taking extended breaks. Never extend the breaks. It does not make the right impression.
  • Tardiness - Being late to work on a given day may be excused. But making it a hobby should be given a serious thought.
  • Loud Behavior - There are people around us who are trying to work. They do not need disturbances like loud talking or completely irrelevant discussions. Respect other people and their work. We are not only disturbing them by talking loudly, but we are not showing them respect.
  • Being Untidy - We need to keep our workstation clean and also the other areas such as the cafeteria, conference room and of course the rest rooms.


WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS
