work.

• Online meetings, collaborative document creation applications, online chat-rooms and

instant messaging have defined this new business environment.

guidelines which need to be understood and adhered to

 Etiquette for Meetings
⮚ Video meetings
▪ Remember to turn your video on, be well dressed and keep
microphone on mute when not speaking.
⮚ Presenting yourself
▪ Always attend video meetings in a well lit and clean room (it really
makes a difference), be well groomed and prepared to answer
questions.

⮚ Audio Calls
▪ Pay attention to the agenda and details of the meeting
▪ If any points are to be made, keep them concise and do
not be afraid to speak up. Good ideas increase the
efficiency.

 Writing effective e-mails
• Remember, direct language may sound harsh in emails.

• Use proper writing language for mails, not any kind of

spoken language.

• Use simple English words for mails.

• Select your words carefully.

• Keep your email short and crisp.

• Expecting reply is appreciated but don’t expect the receiver

to respond / reply immediately.

• Proof read your mail before you send it.

 Sending Updates
• One of the side-effects of working from home, is the absence of accountability. This is
an important issue that needs to be addressed to allow for accountability.
• There are no physical checks that can be performed to assess the work completed per
day.

There are some basics to ensure the organization can handle accountability-

• Send daily updates to team leads and supervisors- this is absolutely essential and
needs to be kept in mind. Remember to send regular updates before the day ends with
work that has been completed in the day and any meetings attended.
• Send these updates in E-mails specifically.
• If some form of update/attendance is not received each day, it will lead to a cut in your
salary.

 Grooming
• Simply because you do not attend work,
physically, does not mean that you can or
should stop paying attention to how you
are presenting yourself.

• Remember that you represent the

organization and you reflect the values of
the organization.

• Always pay attention to particulars about

your appearance, maintaining a style that
you would present in an official meeting
or interview
