Business Rules Every Professional Must Know

BANGALORE: Corporate cultures and ways of doing business are constantly changing. The range of professional and business styles has become very broad, ranging from offices and even large corporations where people wear jeans to company cultures where a suit and tie is the only acceptable attire.

Some offices are informal and social while others are highly formal and require a very polished presence. It's hard to say what the norm is anymore. But, there are certain rules and standards that won't lead you astray no matter where you work or with whom you do business.

1. Be On Time

First and foremost part of business etiquettes is “Punctuality”. Developing a pattern of being late or getting in the habit of keeping people waiting sends a very unprofessional message. Individuals who have the habit and reputation for punctuality tend to be viewed much more favorably by colleagues, customers, and clients than those who have problems with timeliness. Thus always be punctual at your workplace.
