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. lOMoARcPSD|44744371
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.’ Chọn một câu trả lời: a. help them more famous
