That is how a company can prosper.

For most of people, their mobile phones are now part of their body. Nevertheless, it is not a good behaviour at work because it means that you do not entirely involve yourself into your tasks. Moreover, you will be less concentrated, and you will loose your time.

26. Be aware of cultural differences:

Since workplaces are usually a combination of different people from different nationalities and cultures, it is important to know how to deal with each of your co workers. The communication will be easier if you are aware of these cultural differences and you will be able to limit misunderstandings and conflicts.

27. Be confident:

When you are confident that can be seen in your work, in your gesture or when you speak. It’s a way of being, we weren’t with that, but we learn it thanks to a lot of situations and practice. That means that you don’t have to worry about being ridiculous when you do something or don’t be afraid when you speak in front of public.

28. Do not be too relaxed:

You have to be confident and relaxed at work if you want to gain the confidence of your colleagues and appreciate your work. But being too relaxed is not a good strategy.

So be relaxed without a devil-may-care attitude.

29. Do not mix your private and your working life:

What happen in your private life do not have to alter your work and your efficiency. It is not something easy to do but you have to step back from your personal problem if you want to keep good relations with your co workers and do your work properly.

30. Do not gossip:

In general gossiping is a big flaw but at work it is even worse! In order to avoid useless conflict with your colleagues try not to gossip about your neighbour or the secretary of the 1st floor. This will be better for your popularity and you never know who you are speaking with!

31. Do not be rude:

This rule is applicable at work but also in your daily life. Being polite is a “must do”! If you want to be respected by your colleagues, not be rude and find other solutions to resolve your problems. Be respectful in any situation.

32. Ask for permission before borrowing something to your coworkers:

You will not create a good atmosphere if you borrow some things before asking for them. Some people can see it as impolite and they may not feel comfortable.

33. Take care of your speak level:

Do not speak too loud or too quiet at work, or you may have some troubles with your colleagues. Or you won’t be understood or you will be noisy for your co workers. You have to find a right balance.

34. Take notes

If you want to be sure to remember all the information that people give to you it is recommended to take notes. Moreover, you have a proof of what your interlocutor told you. And of course, you look more professional!

35. Do not share confidential data:

It sounds like common sense, but you do not have to share confidential information about your clients or your company with anyone. This is considered as a serious misconduct and it can give you trouble for your future professional progress.

36. Avoid workplace tension:

As your office is the place where you will spend almost all your time, you need to work in a good environment and avoid tension between your colleagues in order to work properly and enjoy your work

37. Make compromises:

As everybody doesn’t have the same opinions or ideas you have to take it into account especially at work. Find solutions to make everybody happy and not create tension between co workers because you think that your idea is the best. It is a work on yourself but your relation with people will be better

38. Respect opinions of each others:

If you want others to respect you, you should start respecting others. In your work environment you will find people who think in a really different way than the one you think, or people from other cultures. If you don’t respect them, you will not succeed

39. Keep an open mind:

The more open minded you are, the best relationships you will have in your workplace. By keeping an open mind you will become more creative and you will be able to find new solutions.

40. Solve problems:

Nowadays what the companies want is people who will solve their problems. Companies don’t need more ideas, they need someone who acts, who put in practice those ideas.

41. Be Hard worker:

The only way to succeed at work is to work hard. The hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard.

42. Be Professional:

Your work is something serious, if you don’t take it like that, you may be fired. Being professional doesn’t mean just to make your job, but also how you behave in the office.

Respect your coworkers when they work, you may disturb them if you make noise in the office and they will become angry. You will not create a good atmosphere and it could be a reason to get fired.

44. Take initiative:

You will find yourself in some situations in which you will have to act by yourself, you cannot wait until your supervisor tells you what to do, you have to act now. Don’t be afraid when that moment comes, just take the initiative and do your best.

45. Maintain a clean workplace:

It is not comfortable to work in an untidy or dirty workplace. You may have trouble with your coworkers. It is fundamental when your clients come to your workplace. Would you like to go as a client to an office and notice that it is a mess? They don’t like it either.

46. Take care of the work material:

The work material is composed by many things, they are your tools to work. If you don’t take care of them, you will find troubles to do your job and also, your boss will not like it if you don’t take care of it.

47. Helps the others:

In the same way that you will need help sometimes, help others when needed. Remember that you all work with the same goal. It is very satisfactory to teach and share your knowledge with others.

48. Ask help when needed:

It is better to ask for help when you need it rather than be proud and screw it up. By asking for help you will learn new things but also you will learn how your coworkers are.

49. Respect the deadlines:

The deadlines are what they are for a reason. There is nothing worse than not respecting them. It looks like you don’t do your best and many times not respecting the deadline means that the work you have already done is useless.

50. Follow your superior’s orders:

Sometimes you may not agree with what your superior says but you have to respect it, because it is thought to be the best for the company. If everyone acted in the way that they think is the best, without paying attention to what their superior says, it would be a mess and you would not reach your goals.

51. Avoid the criticism:

If you have a problem with some co-workers, go and tell them what’s wrong, but avoid expressing criticism, especially behind their back. It will create a very uncomfortable atmosphere

52. Keep a good work atmosphere:

The atmosphere is more important than it seems to be. There is a huge difference between working in a workplace where you feel comfortable or where you don’t. If your co-workers are also your friends, it will be easy for you to help them and if you feel at ease with them you will work better

53. Think before starting working:

Do brainstorming before starting working. You will not regret it. If you don’t know what is your position, what you want to achieve and what you should do to reach that goal, your work won’t be clear.

54. Be nice with all the employees:

It is really important to be nice, not only with your co-workers but also with all the people working in the same company. It doesn’t mean that you have to be friend to everyone, just don’t be rude. Remember that the cleaning staff are really important for the company

55. Be interested in the company’s goals:

If you are interested in the company’s objectives, it will be easier for you to do your job. Moreover, you will be more efficient than you would be if you thought differently. If you believe in what you do, no one will stop you from reaching your goals

56. Give the best of yourself:

You are employed in a company in order to work and help it to achieve its goals. You should give your best in everything you do. Even if you don’t agree completely, show professionalism and do your job the best you can.

57. Check your work:

You may find little mistakes in the work you have just carried out, so check it carefully in order to improve and do your job better.

58. Bring new ideas to the company:

Before doing it, learn how the company works and which ideas have already been examined. If you don’t do it, you will put forward suggestions that you think are new and, as a result, you will slow down the others’ work, since those ideas had already been discussed

59. Avoid conflicts:

You will not create a good atmosphere if you have conflicts with some co-workers. Try to avoid them and differentiate your personal life from the professional one.

It doesn’t mean to start working without knowing where you are going. It means to keep in mind what you want to achieve in order to not be confused and do a useless work.

65. Be autonomous:

Don’t expect to have always someone behind you telling you what to do. You are old enough to know how to work and to do it by yourself.

66. Be curious:

Try to ask to yourself why. Why this is happened, why we work in this way. If you know how the company works, you will find better solutions for everything.

67. Don’t eat/drink in the workplace:

It increases the possibility to drop the food or drink in the workplace and makes it dirty. Be hygienic and don’t create an unprofessional environment

Taking many breaks will constantly interrupt your work, making it impossible to achieve your goals. Having many breaks also show lack of professionalism.

Try to avoid it. You are working in a professional environment and your tattoos are something personal. You must separate your professional and private life.

It is really important to improve yourself and also to not make them again. You will become more efficient and you will also improve the company.

80. Welcome the new workers:

Old employees always have to help new workers to find their landmarks. They must show them the best way to work and give them advices to integrate the company. They have to be friendly and patient with them so that the integration will happen in the best possible conditions.

81. Report workplace problems:

If you have some trouble with your computer or if your chair is broken, or any material problems do not forget to report it to the person responsible for fixing it. You will avoid waste of time and your work will be more efficient.

82. Be ecofriendly:

Yes, we can save our lovely planet also from the office! For this reason, it is important to use dratf paper, to switch off the light while leaving, shut down your computer and turn off the heating when leaving the office. Every small action can make the difference.

83. Do not make fun of your co-workerse:

It may be tempting to make fun of your co-workers but this kind of behaviour can alter the good atmosphere in your office. Sometimes it is okay to make jokes in order to relax everybody but do not put your colleagues in embarrassing situations.

84. Think about the company and not about yourself:

Remember that you are working to help the company to improve itself. But if you work for the company, are a good employee and work in a team, you will learn a lot of new skills and you will also improve yourself.

87. Have a backup:

You don’t want to lose all the work you have done due to a technical problem. Save your work several times a day and work with a copy. If there is a technical problem you will only lose the work you have done after the last time you saved it and not all of it.

88. Do not steal from the company:

Remember that you work for the company, be loyal to it and do not take personal profit by taking things from the workplace for personal use.

89. Be loyal:

It is considered as a good thing to do. Do not work for money, work for the company. You can change the company that you work for, but do it in a proper way. Tell your boss early enough to prepare themselves and to find a replacement for you.

90. Update your work:

Don’t think that once you have completed one project you can forget about it. You should check and update your work in order to make it better and to implement the new things that you have learned from other projects.

91. Don’t use the working hours for personal matters:

You go to the office to work, not to deal with personal matters. If you still do, you will be wasting your time and the company’s money. It is not professional at all.

92. Look the person who is speaking in the eyes:

It shows respect. It is really impolite not to do so because, even if you are really listening, it doesn’t look like it and that person will feel disrespected.

93. Plan your work in advance:

Before starting to work, think which steps are you going to follow. Don’t start working without knowing what you are doing because you will get lost easily and it will be a waste of time.

94. Find solutions, not excuses:

Sometimes you will not be able to do your work the way you are supposed to do it and sometimes you will not be able to respect the deadlines. If it happens, don’t give your boss lame excuses, he/she will not care. Find a solution for the problem instead.

95. Tell your supervisor in case you cannot go to work:

You should always go to work, only in exceptional cases you are allowed to stay away from work. If such an emergency happens, you have to report it as soon as possible in order to find a temporary replacement.

96. Do not have preferences for your co-workers:

Of course, you will prefer some of your co-workers when working together or going out, but don’t show it in the office. Try to behave in the same way with all of them.

97. Respect the housekeeper:

As the housekeeper is part of the staff of the company, you should respect him in the same way that you respect the rest of the staff. Don’t underestimate anyone in the company.

98. Avoid political/religious conflicts at work:

Due to globalization it is really common to find people from other cultures and with different ways of thinking. Don’t let those differences disturb the work environment. Respect others opinions.

99. Don’t harass your co-workers or clients:

Respect all the people around you. If you disrespect someone the atmosphere will become uncomfortable. You have to make your clients feel at home. If you don’t do it, they will not hire you and you will get a bad reputation.

100. Be moral:

Think before acting. Don’t act by following your emotions, don’t overcome the moral limits.
