The Business Etiquette Of Taking An Elevator In The Workplace

Every day we go to work, work, go out and go home. We basically take the elevator. We need to take care of the elevator besides safety. Etiquette is also something we should pay attention to, especially for the workplace.

What should you do and pay attention to when you take an elevator with your colleagues, predecessors, customers and bosses?

The basic etiquette of taking the elevator in the workplace

(1) when guests or elders come to the elevator hall door,

Push the elevator button first.

When the arrival door of a car opens, if a guest has more than 1 people, he can enter the elevator first, press the door button first, and the other hand hold the side door of the lift. Politely, please come in and invite people or elders to enter the elevator car.

(2) after entering the elevator:

Press the floor button that the guests or elders are going to.

If there are other personnel entering the elevator, you can ask for several floors to help you.

Whether the visual condition of the elevator is cold or not, for example, when there are no other personnel, you can make a slight noise. When there are outsiders or other colleagues, you can consider whether it is necessary to make a cold noise.

Try to face the guests sideways in the elevator.

(3) reaching the target floor:

One hand holds the door button and the other hand makes the request. You can say, "come first, please!"

After walking out of the elevator, the guests immediately stepped out of the elevator and enthusiastically guided the way forward.

Etiquette for men and women taking the elevator:

Lift elevator:

Men should take the initiative to push the elevator key; after the elevator door opens, the man should hold the lift door and let the woman advance; after entering the elevator, the man should stand next to the key. He should ask the woman to the floor and get the answer and help to press the floor key.

The escalator:

Women should be allowed to stand first and stand on the right side.

Overseas elevator

Japan takes the elevator to divide into "upper seat" and "lower seat".

The "seat" is the most backward position on the side of the elevator button; next is the position next to the position; secondly, it is the front of the position; the worst "lower seat" is next to the operation panel, because the person has to press the button on the floor, which is equivalent to the driver.

We usually give up the seats to the leaders or the elderly. When some young people enter the elevator, they will take the initiative to stand in the "lower seat" position.

When Americans enter the elevator

Repeatedly press the "door key" and others, until the confirmation of no entry into the elevator will release the "door key", but no one will press the "closing key", because in the American mind, the person who presses the "closing key" when entering the elevator represents rude and mean.

Some people are uncivilized and sometimes very embarrassed.

According to the statistics of Zhengzhou fire department, by the end of 2009, more than 2000 high-rise buildings had been built in Zhengzhou, and elevators became indispensable tools.

Every day people come in and out of this narrow space, and the uncivilized phenomena of elevators emerge one after another.

Ms. Zhang, the citizen, said that one day she and her colleagues walked into the elevator with lunch, and the elevator almost had her back on the back, and a person hiccups unscrupulously behind her back.

"I felt a sudden nausea. Before I could catch my breath, I saw a man picking his teeth and smacking his lips."

Zhang Wei, an office worker, told reporters that it would be all right to wait for the elevator to take the elevator. What made him uncomfortable is that he felt uncomfortable with the leader or his colleagues who were not very familiar with the elevator.

"Do not know the order of entering and leaving the elevator, nor do I know what to tell the leader."

Zhang Wei said that if you meet a beautiful woman in an elevator, you will be more embarrassed and do not know the etiquette of elevators.

Other aspects of elevator etiquette

1. by escalator, you should stand on the right side and leave the left side passageway so that people with emergency can get through. Take the initiative to take care of the elderly and children walking on the escalator to avoid falling. If you need to rush through the left side, you should give thanks to those who give way to themselves.

2. ride the van elevator.

If there are drivers in the elevator, the elderly and women should be allowed to enter first. If there is no elevator driver, they can enter the car to control the elevator first, so that the elderly and women can enter the elevator to ensure safety.

Those who are advanced into the car should try their best to stand in.

When you are not acquainted with the elevator, your eyes should naturally look at the elevator door; do not laugh loudly in the elevator, keep quiet.

Where pets are not allowed to take the elevator, pets should be taken up by the owner. Large pets should be taken by the owner without any other passengers.

If you are a receptionist and often receive distinguished guests, you must also remember that there are also seats in the elevator.

The so-called seat is the most comfortable, the best view, the most honorable position.

The more you lean inside, the more honorable you are.

The upper seat is the most backward position after the elevator operation board, and the lower seat is closest to the position of the operation board, because this person should press the floor button, which is equivalent to the driver.

These small details sometimes have a very important impact on a person's impression, which is worth noticing in the workplace, whether for business or business etiquette.

If you show the etiquette, maybe you will have some romantic experience.
