Good and Bad Manners at Work


Good Manners:

Be Friendly: A Works place is not a social club, but nobody

expects you to act like robots isolated from each other. There are always opportunities during breaks at the beginning and end of the day to chat friendly.

Be Helpful: In the working life, almost always we work with

others, and depend on them as much as they depend on us.

Be Responsible : Of course that you are responsible in duties

and play the best we can, but also has other duties: to welcome
new comers to the group and help keep the team spirit.

Be Consideration: Avoid habits or activities that distract or

annoy others like example: family, messages ,extremely, out going , gossips, eavesdroppers, the office to casanovas, wolverines, the bullies, the music fans, those who dress badly, small traders, etc.

Be cheerful: Since you spend a third of your life at work, you

better be happy in it. Of course not all jobs are interesting and significant, but Little is gained if one begins to grumble.

Bad manners: Lack of punctuality: We ignore this rule in Panama, where

they often do not even know precisely how long it will last for an interview or meeting.

Speaking: One of the greatest and is one of the most requested

courses and ceremonial protocol.

Written composition: there are secretaries of senior executives

who do not know how to answer a mail or note that a boss can not make a compromise. It is a very serious, since we are talking bussines. We can not afford to not knowingt how to write

correctly a text.

Informality in the treament or lack of tact: Greet with a kiss,

being on one to one basis with because you are female, and make
a gift in the midst of a negotiation are common mistakes.

The limits on a business conversation: After closing an

operation, do not talk more about it. One word can ruin it.

EXAMPLE OF BUSINESS

Thank You Good afternoon

Greetings in Japan are very formal and ritualized. wait to be introduced. A foreign visitor may bow the head slightly, since no one expects foreigners to generally understand the subtle nuances of bowing.

On

the rare occasion you are invited to a Japanese house. Remove your shoes before entering and put on the slippers left at the doorway. Unless you have been told the event is casual, dress as if you were going into the office.

Japanese understand that it is very difficult for foreigners to work in Japan.


They

will not expect you to speak or read Japanese, or be conversant with their strict cultural nuances and protocol.
Mistakes

are allowed as long as genuine respect is shown at all

times.

The Japanese prefer to do

business on the basis of personal relationships so being introduced or recommended by someone who already has a good relationship with the company is extremely helpful One way to build and maintain relationships is with greetings / seasonal cards

It

is best to telephone for an appointment rather than send a letter, fax or email. Punctuality is important. Since this is a group society, even if you think you will be meeting one person, be prepared for a group meeting.

Business attire is conservative. Men should wear dark-coloured, conservative business suits. Women should dress conservatively.

Business cards are exchanged constantly and with great ceremony. Invest in quality cards. Always keep than in pristine condition.

Greetings are formal and the oldest person is always greeted first. Many Chinese will look towards the ground when greeting someone. Address the person by an honorific title and their surname.

The

Chinese prefer to entertain in public places rather than in their homes, especially when entertaining foreigners. If you are invited to their house, consider it a great honour Arrive on time. Remove your shoes before entering the house. Learn to use chopsticks

Appointments are necessary and, if possible, should be made between one-totwo months in advance, preferably in writing. You should arrive at meetings on time or slightly early. The Chinese view punctuality as a virtue. Arriving late is an insult and could negatively affect your relationship

Only senior members of the negotiating team will speak. Designate the most senior person in your group as your spokesman for the introductory functions.

Chinese are nonconfrontational. They will not overtly say 'no', they will say 'they will think about it' or 'they will see'.

Business attire is conservative and unpretentious. Men should wear dark coloured, conservative business suits. Women should wear conservative business suits or dresses with a high neckline. Women should wear flat shoes or shoes with very low heels. Bright colours should be avoided.

Business cards are exchanged after the initial introduction. . Have one side of your business card translated into Chinese using simplified Chinese characters that are printed in gold ink since gold is an auspicious colour. Examine a business card before putting it on the table next to you or in a business card case. Never write on someone's card unless so directed
