Office Etiquette 101 DOs and DON'Ts

About this video

The Gentleman’s Gazette team explores office etiquette fundamentals, identifying three key danger zones—noise, interpersonal interactions, and common use spaces—and teaching viewers how to maintain professionalism and resolve workplace conflicts through respectful communication.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that good office etiquette means being respectful and considerate of coworkers and the work environment, which helps create a comfortable and productive workplace where everyone can function at approximately 90% efficiency
• The Gazette team identifies three major etiquette danger zones: noise management (volume control, phone calls, speakerphone use), interpersonal interactions (avoiding physical touch, passive-aggressiveness, gossip, and oversharing), and common use spaces (kitchen cleanliness, respecting shared resources, and parking lot etiquette)
• The Gazette team recommends addressing etiquette violations calmly, privately, and directly using a template that names the person, states the specific behavior, explains the outcome, and respectfully requests change; if defensive reactions occur, escalating to management may be necessary
