Be known for your high standards...

How would you score yourself on these courtesy standards?

These brilliant basics impact your ‘personal brand’ - how others perceive you and your potential in the workplace.  Any low scores that have come to your awareness are good points to look at this week. 

Give yourself a mark from 1-5 on the following:

- When I walk in the office I say hello to everyone as I walk in and goodbye as I walk out
- I reply to all e-mails I receive each day, sending a holding note where a full response requires more time
- I pick up any rubbish I see on the floor in/ around my office
- I'm on time for all meetings
- Each meeting I attend or run has a clear purpose and agenda
- The area around my desk is tidy
- I have an up to date voicemail telling people when to expect a reply from me
- My auto-signature has the correct details and is consistent with the standard set by my firm
- I thank individuals in my team each week for a contribution they have made
- When someone shares something important to them that's coming up (birthdays, holidays etc) I follow up to ask how it went.
