EMPLOYEE ETIQUETTES
Employee etiquettes refers to codes of conduct an individual should follow while at work.
Respect your organization to expect the same in return. Don’t treat your organization as a mere
source of earning money. Remember your organization is paying you for your hard work and
not for gossiping and loitering around.
Reach office on time. If your office timing is 9.30 AM, make sure you are there at 9.20 AM. It is
essential to be disciplined at the workplace.
Leave all your personal problems out the moment you step in the office. It is unprofessional to
mix personal and professional life. Keep them separate.
Greet your fellow workers with a smile.
Follow the professional dress code. Never wear anything which shows much of your skin. Avoid
wearing jeans, capris, T shirts, shorts etc to work. Female employees should not wear revealing
dresses to work.

As a responsible employee you have no rights to share confidential information with any of the
external parties under any circumstances. Data in any form must not be leaked to anyone who
bears no relation with the organization.
Keep your cell phones in the silent mode to avoid disturbing others sitting around you. Loud
ring tones at the workplace are a strict no. Avoid long personal calls during office hours.
Wearing ear buds at the workplace is unacceptable.
Keep your workstation free of unwanted documents and files. Avoid having lunch at your desk.
It creates mess.
Learn to own your mistakes. Stick to your statements. Stay away from blame games and nasty
politics at the workplace. Remember conflicts and misunderstandings lead you nowhere. It is
always better to discuss issues face to face and reach to a mutually acceptable solution.
While communicating through emails, make sure your boss is in the loop. It is foolish to hide
things from him. Master the art of writing emails. Emails must be self-explanatory and a clear
reflection of one’s thoughts.
Respect your fellow workers. Help them whenever required. Never give them wrong
suggestions.
Treat all your fellow workers as one irrespective of their education and designation in the
organization. Female employees must be treated with respect and dignity.
Never take undue advantage of your position. Do not ask for personal favors from your
subordinates.
Respect each other’s privacy. Do not open envelopes not meant for you. It is bad manners
to read your colleague’s email or check his messages.
