The
saying that goes as “Human being is a social animal” is very much accurate. And,
there are certain protocols that are needed to be followed everywhere - be it your
habitat or workplace. It is necessary for
every individual to act with some etiquette. The literal meaning of etiquette is
the code of manners that aid an individual to behave sensibly and aptly with
people at any place.
Talking
about corporate etiquette, it means to bring before you a set of norms that are
essential for an individual to follow at his workplace.
One must respect his organization and maintain the decorum of the place.
Here is
a list of Do’s and Don’ts that are worthy reading.
The Do’s:
·
Make sure that you log in and log out of the office in time unless
some urgencies.
