Since ancient times, China has been a country that attaches great importance to etiquette. No matter what the occasion, you must observe basic etiquette, which is also a sign of respect for others and good cultivation.

1. Basic etiquette of the meeting.

1. Meeting time: For enterprises, time is efficiency. Arrive at the meeting point 5-10 minutes early. If there is an impromptu event, participants must inform the meeting host in advance.

2. Keep your phone on silent: During a meeting, turn your phone to silent or vibrate mode to avoid disturbing others. Focus on the content of the meeting and show your professional attitude.

3. Meeting seating arrangement: No matter what the occasion, the seating arrangement is exquisite. This is especially true for meeting seating arrangements in the workplace. Corporate meeting rooms are usually set up with long tables and seating facing the door.

Different companies have different cultures, and newcomers in the workplace should pay more attention and observe more before taking a seat, and if you are not sure about your position, you can consult your superiors, and remember to sit blindly.

2. Take a seat at the designated location.

It is not etiquette to attend a meeting without being seated in a designated seat. Some people think that there are so many participants that it doesn't matter if they sit **. If you do, you will inevitably get into trouble.

When you attend a meeting as a guest, you are not seated in the designated place with a name tag, and you are suspected of evading responsibility and flouting the organizer;When you and other delegates are seated in a specific area, but you do not comply with the arrangement and blend into the area where the other unit is located, there is a suspicion of lack of collective awareness. Not being seated in the designated place can easily disrupt the meeting organizer's plans.

If you need people seated in different areas to consult and speak at the meeting, you will be virtually isolated.

Tips: Generally, the place far away from the entrance is the upper seat, but when there are three people, the middle is the big seat.

If the opponent is not designated by the table cards, they will be seated in the order shown on the left according to the position of the position.

When the leaders in the same industry are about to leave the table in the middle, they should stand up together to greet the customer.

When the leader of the other party comes in, stand up together to greet him and show politeness.

Third, grasp the time of the meeting.

1. Meeting time: usually 10-11 o'clock in the morning, 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon, the human brain is more active, and brainstorming meetings can be organized.

2. Meeting duration: People who are more than 45 minutes are easy to get distracted, and people who are more than 90 minutes start to feel tired. The meeting should be set up within 30 minutes and try not to exceed 60 minutes. The meeting is long, with a 5-10 minute break in between.

3. Preparation for the meeting: For the reading materials and discussion sessions, it is necessary to send the reading materials to the participants in advance before the meeting, and inform the participants of the discussion session in advance. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
