March 16, 2009

coworker-etiquetteFor all men in a corporate and competitive environment we bring this special feature on being on your best behavior with colleagues who can often make or mar your professional reputation with a well-intended recommendation or a mean, gossipy remark. So, read through our guide on coworker etiquette and apply these to your best advantage for better business advancement as Peter and Peggy Post, the globally renowned couple on good manners give the dope on acceptable office behavior for all!

These coworker etiquette tips have been listed in their best-seller, titled, ‘The Etiquette Advantage in Business,’ and covers all the basics of expected officialdom norms for men in the modern office set-up anywhere. One can read up their handy guide to everything on etiquette in relation to corporate environment and stay atop all situations arising at work places that could possibly hinder or promote better relations at work!

Begin with maintaining healthy relations with colleague and engage in polite conversations bordering on humorous to general philosophy to know their likes and dislikes; respecting boundaries and avoiding talk that makes any one of them uncomfortable e.g. religion, politics or sex is advisable.

When chatting about business matters, keep a distance but not too great that one has to shout and speak and neither so close that the colleague thinks you can be making a pass! At least maintain a distance of 18 inches from the other person to avoid making them feel you are in their personal space.

Do not interrupt a colleague when they are talking and wait your turn in any conversation; never hog a conversation as some chatter-boxes are prone to doing.

Your eye contact should be honest and try to give importance to the other person; don’t fidget with your clothes or person when a co-worker is addressing you as it may look as if you’re disinterested in what they have to say.

Moreover, be thoughtful of persons with any disability, like allowing those in a wheelchair to pass by first or listening more intently to someone with a hearing aid.

Be kind and ready to help out colleagues with small tasks like swapping lunch times if they have a family emergency or pending work load; it will earn you instant brownie points as a cool coworker!
