Work Ethics- Appearance

Appearance:

The way that someone or something looks. An impression given by someone or something, although this may be misleading: the act or fact of appearing, as to the eye or mind or before the public.

Physical Appearance:

How can this affect your job? Your appearance is very important to most people. Your appearance speaks a lot about the person you are, and many people judge you by the way you look, act, speak, and dress. It is very important to be well groomed for your job.

Email Appearance:

Why do you need email etiquette? Because the company needs to implement etiquette rules for the following three reasons:

        • Professionalism: when using proper email language your company will
           convey a professional image.
        • Efficiency: emails that get to the point are more efficiencies than long unnecessary
           worded emails.
        • Protection from liability: Employees that are aware of the risk emails have on the            company will protect the company from law suits.

The rules of email etiquette are not "rules" in the sense that I will come after you if you don't follow them. They are guidelines that help avoid mistakes (like offending someone when you don't mean to) and misunderstandings (like being offended when you're not meant to). These core rules of email etiquette help us communicate better via email.
