Etiquette is the name we give to the rules for being polite in a social
group. Business etiquette is important for people who often have to
make new contacts and build relationships in their work. Politeness can
also help to improve the working environment for people in the same
office. Some cultures and situations are formal, which means that we
have to follow rules; other cultures and situations are more informal.
Text 2 Office workers “admit being rude”
Most office workers say they are rude or bad-mannered at work. Two out
of three workers regularly arrive late for meetings, most ignore emails
and three out of four use bad language. In a survey of 1,000 workers,
two-thirds say that pressure of work is the reason for bad manners.
Other common examples of bad office etiquette include ignoring
colleagues and answering mobile phone calls during meetings. Using
mobile phones in meetings is impolite and distracts others, research by
the University of Surrey shows. If you respond to call when speaking to
somebody, it means that the phone call is more important than the
person, the survey said. If you answer a call during a meeting, it could
mean that the meeting is not important.
Mr Jacobs, managing director of Office Angels, a recruitment firm say it
is easy for people to forget their manners in the working environment,
which is often very informal and very busy. Workers can forget proper
etiquette such as introducing people at meetings, and this is often bad for working relationships.
Psychologist Dr Colin Gill believes that people are not as polite as they
were twenty years ago. He said: ‘Courtesy is no longer something that is
so much respected in our society.’ People think it is ‘stuffy to be polite or formal.’

Now some organisations are actually investing money in training their
junior managers to be polite. Office Angels is encouraging people to
arrive on time for meetings, turn off mobile phones and avoid bad
manners at work is such a simple thing to do,’ Mr Jacobs says, ‘ and it
can have a dramatic impact on improving your working environment
and your relationships with others.’
