Cubicle Etiquette

Every work environment can be a place of productivity. Keeping this in mind remember that a cubical should be given the same value. There are several elements that will enable you to be successful if you keep the fundamental etiquette in mind.

Cubicles are very common in office settings. Many of us work in office cubicles or other open environments. A cubicle office lacks privacy and presents challenges.

Coworkers with different personalities, working styles, preferences and different cultures can work successfully by following these guidelines. Respect privacy Avoid listening in on other people's conversations.

No snacking in the cubicle The smell, noise and clutter of snack foods will be offensive to others.

Keep private matters private Do not exchange confidential information in a cubicle. Find a meeting room, or take your conversation out of the office.

Do not enter someone else's cubicle unless you are invited. Converse either in your cube or in your colleague's cubicle.

Speak softly Voices carry. Always use a soft, quiet voice when speaking in a cubicle environment. Do not use a speaker phone.

Don't interrupt someone who is on the phone by using sign language or any other means of communication.

Keep personal items to a minimum such as family, pet, memotos and vacation photos.

Music, ipods and ring tones on your cell phone are not appropriate in your cubicle.

Do not make personal phone calls to family or friends. This is an office, not your living room. Do not discuss confidential matters in your cubicle.

Keep your cubicle clean and organized, with documents filed in their proper places.

Re: The State of Marketing - 2011. An infographic. - Interesting Graphic, Wonder what the numbers would look like for Online Only Marketing? For 2012, I see word of mouth increasing even more through social business networks as their market share increases. I haven't been able to find the latest market share data, but certainly the growth of such sites is phenomenal. A problem with word of mouth goes back (before Yates) that negative news travels faster than positive news. Many member that join theses site use the spam approach to business and quickly lose their credibility as they post their links on individual posts and in groups where their post is neither relevant nor appropriate. (Calls for an article on Social Etiquette) Word of mouth and online marketing, in my opinion start with YOU, build your brand and be consistent with at brand: your profile, and pic should tell us who you are, what are your values, give us something to relate to and tie it in with your primary product or service If you are into social business networking, join many and get YOU, your name out there. When we know you, you product will take care of itself Most member here seem to brand themselves (their name); however, even among the largest social business network I see to many cartoons, dogs, cats, cars, spouse pics, or I see biz names - these don't tell me who you are with out studying your profile I believe that the value of word of mouth is obvious, what are the mouths going to be saying about you?
