1. Rrring Rrrrrrrring:- It's very distracting to have to constantly reply other people's phones if they haven't diverted them or activated their voicemail. It's just as irritating to listen to 20 seconds of "Crazy Frog" as the ringtone on someones mobile.
2. Respect colleagues having dine at their desk:- You're sitting there mutely eating a sandwich and perhaps reading a book or a newspaper, when someone decides to come up and ask work-related questions. Treat others on their lunch break as youd like to be treated on yours.
3. Monitor your communication volume:- People always lean to converse louder than compulsory when on a mobile, so make sure you pipe down or go into the corridor. Talking to a friend from the telephone on your desk? No-one else wants to hear your conversation about how you discarded your boyfriend or what you're planning to wear when out tonight. Particularly your boss.
4. Be aware of others needing the printer:- "Printer manners" is a idiom used widely in South Australia. It refers to giving special treatment to workers printing only one page at a time, ahead of those using half an hour and half a forest to print out big documents.
5. Be aware about smells:- Limit strong perfume, excessive body odour, and very perfumed flowers -- all of which can offend others. Hot take-away food and instant soups can also be very unlikable, especially if you're twenty floors up and relying on air-conditioning rather than being able to open the windows.
6. Be neat in the kitchen:- Keep in mind when your mum would say, "Do you think this is a hotel?" Similarly, at work, no-one wants to have to clear up after your mess. Don't leave food on the counter or unclean dishes in the sink for extensive periods of time. And make sure the fridge now and again to confirm the cheese you bought last month has not sprouted a green disguise.
7. Keep your music to yourself:- Roger Tullgren, in Sweden, managed to convince three psychologists that his force to listen to music at work should be classified as a disability. He's now been given a dispensation to play music "really loudly" at his new job as a part-time dishwasher in a restaurant. However, not everyone at your office will be eager to hear your latest discovery, so remain the volume non-existent by wearing headphones.
8. Stay home with the sniffles:- You may feel you should be highly praised for bravely soldiering into work when sick, but no-one else will. A Kimberly-Clark report found 94 per cent of workers admitting they still turn up for work when experiencing cold. Eighty-five per cent of these think about the risk of passing on their illness to colleagues but go in anyway. If you absolutely must appear, be considerate and use tissues and clean your hands normally to reduce the expand of germs.
9. Ask before borrowing:- Like Gareth in "The Office", some people are violently defensive of their office supplies. How many times have you been on a scavenger hunt to track down borrowed pens, staplers and scissors?
10. Be on time:- According to a report by the BBC, two-out-of-three people regularly turn up late for meetings. What message does it give to people if you're always late, cancel at short notice or chat with others while a meeting is going on? Showing respect and tact in the workplace will help you build creative relationships.
