Professional Etiquette
Don’t Use a Speakerphone. Roughly 70 percent of employees found using a speakerphone in a
shared or open office to be unacceptable. If it’s a call you need to take hands-free, use a headset or
find a private room to avoid distracting your co-workers.
Gossiping Isn’t Good Team Building. Talk about the weather, sports, upcoming events, or send a
sweet GIF, but whatever you do don’t fall into gossiping as a way to relate with co-workers.
Don’t use all letters in uppercase. Using all caps indicates an aggressive tone, or a lack of digital
skills, neither of which will be appreciated by co-workers. The only time caps are acceptable in the
workplace is when you are sending “CONGRATULATIONS!” to celebrate an achievement.
Reply Carefully. More than 60 percent of employees consider it poor workplace etiquette to hit
reply all to emails. This rule requires some finesse. Don’t reply all to an email asking for your order
for the staff lunch. Do reply all to a department-wide update to make sure everyone knows you’re
on the same page.

is poor workplace etiquette, but roughly 45 percent of employees think it’s still worth mentioning
Use Styles Appropriately. Forty percent of workers think the improper use of bolds or italics in
work communications is unacceptable. This is somewhat similar to using all caps in the way that it
could convey an unintended tone. Bold/italics also have a tendency to draw the attention of the eye,
so if a random word is bolded or italicized it can be confusing and distract viewers from the
message itself.
Keep Your Jokes to Yourself. More than a third of employees think it’s poor workplace etiquette to
send joke emails to the entire team. It really depends on your work culture whether or not it’s
appropriate to send joke emails, but the important qualifier here is ‘to the entire team
