Office Etiquette

Most companies have dress policies, but etiquette in appearance is more than wearing something too revealing or too casual.

What this course covers:

• The do's and don'ts of personal hygiene at work
• What to do if you notice a colleague's wardrobe malfunction
• Respecting other people's senses of smell
• Why clipping your nails at work and going shoeless don't belong in the office

Everything appearance-related, covered for the workplace.

With the growing popularity of open office layouts, environmental etiquette has become increasingly more important. This course is designed to help employees be more considerate and less...annoying. We'll discuss things like speaking volume, phone etiquette, personal space, inappropriate desk decor, cleanliness, and people in Speedos. This program will help build employee awareness of surroundings and other people's needs.

Food can be offensive. Have you ever smelled an egg and onion burrito? It's horrible. Have you ever opened the microwave at work to find a gravy explosion that someone left behind? How about opening the shared fridge at your office, and it smells like feet and cheese? In this course on etiquette, we're talking about food and, in particular, the kitchen area. We'll go over some offensive behaviors and how to be a more considerate coworker.

Isn't it wonderful that every workplace is harmonious, where we can all hold hands, braid each other's hair, and do trust falls? What? That's not your workplace? Of course it isn't. We're all very different and we all have to get along. This course is designed to help employees interact respectfully with one another in the office. We'll go over some tips on eavesdropping, attending meetings, collecting donations, office parties, and other tricky situations.
