How Do We Include Office Etiquette in Our Joining Form? Seeking Advice and Examples

Dear Sir/Madam,

My boss wants us to add office etiquette in the Joining Form. How should we add it and where should we add it? If anyone has the joining form with office etiquette, please forward it to me.

Thanks & Regards,
Ratna

Dear Ratna,

Business etiquette or workplace etiquette can be part of the induction training. How can you have a "form" to fill out on workplace etiquette? I recommend that you clarify with your superior regarding his expectations.

Thanks,

Dear Dinesh,

He only wants to add that point in the joining form. It's what he has sent. So please help.

As Dinesh has said, you explain the organization's Office Etiquette to new starters during their induction. It is not something you put on a form! In most cases, this information is printed in the Employee Handbook, if the organization has one. If this is something that must be done, then print the Office Etiquette rules on a separate sheet of paper and attach it to the form.

By the way, what is a "Joining Form?" Is this something the employee keeps? If not, then putting the rules on it is a pointless exercise! How can they read it in the future if they don't have a copy? I suggest you rethink this and then try to have a rational discussion with your boss about doing things the right way.

How were the existing employees told about the rules? And more importantly, are they being followed? You cannot have rules for some and not others.

By the way, the word is PLEASE, not "plz." We encourage members to use correct English and not SMS speak. It helps those who are not as familiar with the English language to improve their knowledge.
