5 taboos at first acquaintances at work

1. Wait for you to be greeted first

To introduce a new employee to the team, one of the employees is often taken. But it’s almost impossible to remember everyone at once. Therefore, it is not worth counting on the fact that you have been introduced and at this stage of dating. It is important to welcome new colleagues first.

In a situation where you need to introduce yourself to several people at once and you don’t know who to greet first, start with the one with whom you first made eye contact.
2. Ignore any of the colleagues

Walk past colleagues, busily looking to the other side - an extremely rude tone. A good tone is a minimal approving nod of the head or a slight smile for a passing colleague.
3. Use the “wrong” handshake

A handshake, as a gesture of greeting, is considered good form only when it is “correct”, that is, executed with moderate force and on an equal footing, and not dominant or barely noticeable to a colleague.

4. Unleash emotions

A cardinal change of scenery and a new team in any case affect the body akin to stress. But the behavior of a native Hispanic man who, upon first acquaintance, quickly rushes into the arms of new colleagues, is not understood by everyone.
5. Do not ask questions

In the first working days, false behavior will be both ostentatious initiative and excessive modesty. Ask everything that interests you as part of the workflow. In order not to distract someone constantly, write down all your questions as they arrive and ask them in blocks.


If, having read to the end, you still couldn’t completely present your behavior in the first working days in a new team, take advantage of the universal rules of a new employee: a sincere smile and openness. Work.ua is convinced that sincere, disposing and smiling behavior will always be understood and accepted in any team. From this moment you can think about how to further build a successful career, without making 3 major mistakes.
