Professional Image: Social Business Etiquette

Social and business etiquette define how professionals present themselves, interact with others, and represent their organizations in both formal and informal settings. Proper etiquette builds credibility, strengthens relationships, and prevents misunderstandings that can damage professional image and trust.

Explain the importance of social and business etiquette in the workplace
Demonstrate appropriate etiquette in meetings, introductions, and social situations
Apply proper dress, dining, and greeting standards in business settings
Practice professional behavior when representing the company inside and outside the workplace

This module is designed for:

New hires and entry-level employees
Customer-facing staff (sales, service, front desk, support roles)
Supervisors and team leads who interact with clients and stakeholders
Professionals representing the company in meetings, events, and social settings
Employees who need to strengthen their professional image and conduct

Methodologies

2. Demonstration and Guided Practice
