Nonverbal etiquettes at workplace

Nowadays, the office environment is not just sitting in a cubical but there is team work and a lot of interaction with coworkers required. Moreover, some jobs require a social and/or face to face interaction with the customers.

I think, a person’s first impression is portrayed by his/ her appearance. Therefore, physical appearance tells a lot about a person. Furthermore, a person at work, or in a professional environment represents his/her work place. So people should be very careful about their appearance at work.

  Did you know that most people form an opinion about you within the first thirty seconds. So it is really important to make first good impression.The body language, the clothes you wear, if you are standing up straight, even the tone of the voice adds the little details.

 A smile, a firm handshake and a good eye contact stats you off better amongst the others; and number one rule is to turn the cell phone off during any meeting or business conferences or seminars as a ringing cellphone is not only against good business or workplace etiquette, but also gives an impression that you don't care or the meeting is not important for you.
