Follow Reporting Structure : During the course of your employment, follow the reporting structure when reporting a problem or bringing up a new idea, starting with your immediate supervisor and moving up. If you violate ( 违反 ) the accepted practices, you will be marked as unprofessional. When you start a job, ask about the chain of command and commit it to memory. Be Respectful: No matter which job you hold in a company, it's important to be respectful of others. Show respect for their lifestyle choices, personal property and work styles. In any given office or situa tion, respectful behavior helps establish a professional reputation. Minimize Personal Communications: With the popularity of smartphones, it can be tempting to spend a disproportionate ( 不成比例的 ) amount of time participating in personal communication during work hours. Limit your use of your smartphone to avoid the perception ( 看法 ) that you waste company time or do not get enough work done. Follow Company Policies: In most businesses, company policies exist for a reason, from safety to legal protection. Get to know your company policy and make every effort to follow it. If a situation arises that requires you to break your company policy, speak to a supervisor and ask for suggestions.
