FREE online courses on Promoting Etiquette - Manners
Hopefully etiquette's do survive in the offices of the
twenty first century. Etiquette nourishes a positive feeling from all direction
to help work go smoothly and efficiently. The manner in which you behave to
others is reflected back to you. Its therefore better to learn to give what you
did like to receive to develop a healthy work environment. Good etiquette has to
be a part of the scenario. It is not justified to prove yourself to be so busy,
so as not to say ‘please' and ‘thank you' when you make a request in the office.
