Its no big deal to be in a white collared job unless you know how to grow and get big. For many, going to office is like going to college. The campus placed students join office and have no clue of the office etiquette. They will be sent a list of mails by the HR (human resource department) but will hardly take a look as they will be too over confident or over excited with the new job.

There is definitely a need to know the office etiquette as your senior team members will respect your systematic and disciplined lifestyle that will help you in a long run. Today, we shall mention a few top points to follow for being a good entrepreneur. Take a look.

Top 5 Office Etiquette Rules – The Do's And Don'ts

1. Always Be On Time – When you are in a 9 to 6 job, you need to be an inspiration or role model to your team members. Try to get ready and leave to office at a comfortable timing so that you can't be late in any case. Spend a hour on your weekend to set all the things like fill fuel for car, iron clothes, polish shoes etc.

2. Check Breaks – Never go for too many breaks during working hours. Every 15 minute break does matter in a day as you will be constantly getting distracted from work. Always drink and eat healthy in office so that you won't be disturbing your colleagues with bad breathe or upset stomach.

3. Do Not Overtalk Or Gossip About People – Interact with colleagues but never complain as it will be very easy for them to judge your behaviour easily. Many won't entertain when you pin point at their friends. Avoid slang and bad language in the office environment.

4. Maintain Your Workstation – Being a responsible officer, you need to learn to keep your bay clean so that it won't disturb people who come to interact with you. Organise your stuff and keep them in place so that they are easily available.

5. Dress Code - Get cleared about the dress that you can carry at office. Avoid tight fit clothes as they may provoke colleagues in passing comments. Wear comfortable formal or contra formal clothes that are matched with a decent coloured bag (black, greys or browns) and shoes. Women, specially, need to get specific with the office wear.

No body forces anybody to follow these office etiquette rules as it is basic manners that people are assumed to know. These may not matter to many but will certainly help in judging the character and capabilities of the person.
