How to address colleagues

Do you want to know how to address your colleagues? In the workplace, it is inevitable to deal with colleagues, and a suitable title can make the relationship between them better. It is impolite to address colleagues by their first and last names, and colleagues will feel uncomfortable about it. So what do you call your colleagues? Let's go and have a look.

How to address colleagues 1 1? It's easier said than done. It's appropriate for people with titles, such as,,, Xie Dao, Director Chen, or shopkeeper Tong, catcher Zhan, etc., to show respect, highlight each other's identity and maintain the necessary sense of courtesy and distance.

2. There is also a kind of appellation that follows the mass line and makes a fuss about surnames-Lao Bai, Xiao Guo and Lao Xing, which sounds kind.

3. Another way to achieve the same goal through different routes is to call people by their first names, such as Wu Shuang, Liu and Whelan, which is also intimate.

"Sister" became the official address of this colleague, and it was established by convention. Even at retirement age, she will be addressed as "Sister Liu" by young people in their twenties.

This way of looking for inspiration in genealogy seems to open a sky, and many workplace problems are solved. Besides Sister Liu, there are Zhao Ge, Ding Yi, Xu Shu and Sun Shu, who are catchy and call each other elders.

You can pay attention to observe that the "sister" in the office must like to take care of others, undertake most trivial work, and even become a "trash can" for "brothers and sisters" to talk about their troubles; As for "Brother X", most of them will be as brave and responsible as the boss of a family, and stand up at the critical moment and become the pillar of the team.

5. What some leaders are most opposed to is the kinship terms between subordinates, which explicitly prohibit the pedigree of workplace relations. "The name of brother and sister is informal." With the deepening of the professionalization process, a new name-teacher has appeared in the workplace.

No matter whether the other person is male or female, old or young, familiar or unfamiliar, as long as you don't know how to call him, just call him "teacher". Its advantages are self-evident: no personal feelings, no excessive interpersonal expectations, no status presupposition; Safe, neutral, respectful, without too many emotional expectations, it doesn't sound like family. More importantly, as a "teacher", you will never be kidnapped by your sisters again.

However, after only one week's work, Zhu Wenting felt that all her colleagues in the office were talking about whether she was big or small, which filled her with fear every day.

Zhu Wenting wants to know why her colleagues think she is neither big nor small, because she never talks nonsense in the company and works hard. Later, when Zhu Wenting learned from his colleague Li Zhou that he had just entered the company, he followed his colleagues and called the department manager "the boss", which aroused the discussion of his colleagues.

Yang Xiaoyu said it embarrassed her.

Tips: the workplace address book teaches you to avoid "thunder"

Li Yin, a senior etiquette trainer of China Professional Talents Committee, believes that different enterprises and companies have different requirements. For example, in some European and American enterprises, the names of bosses and colleagues are relatively broad. In order not to shorten the distance between the boss and colleagues, they will directly address each other by English names in the company. But many domestic enterprises and companies are very particular about addressing. To this end, Li Yin told newcomers in the workplace to "pay attention to eight things".

1. After the newcomers report for duty, they must first have a general understanding of all colleagues in their own departments and make clear their positions.

2. For your superiors, you can directly address their positions, such as Manager Zhang and Director Wang.

3. When addressing multiple people, they must be addressed from high to low, such as General Manager Li and Manager Zhang.

4. When there are many CEOs in the company, when addressing them, each CEO's position must be addressed separately, such as: General Manager Liu, General Manager Xiao,.

5. When addressing, be sure to smile, look directly at the other person (but don't stare at him) and behave politely.

6. Newcomers who have just joined the job must be natural and generous, not too artificial.

7. Newcomers had better ask their colleagues around them to find out their position so as to address each other correctly.

8. If you don't know how to address him, you can politely ask him, "Sir (Madam), I'm new here. I don't know how to address you?"

How to address colleagues 4 English names are widely used in foreign companies.

Mr. Li said that in foreign companies, colleagues should use English names to address each other, and he also asked me to give myself an English name, even if my boss called me by an English name. He said that generally speaking, in European and American enterprises known for their free atmosphere, both colleagues and superiors address each other by English names, even to superiors and even bosses. If you address others by position, it will make people feel out of place. Working in such a company, you might as well take an English name and integrate into the group.

It is very important for state-owned enterprises to shout for positions.

Teacher Li said that the atmosphere of state-owned enterprises is completely different from that of foreign enterprises, not so relaxed and more serious. This can be heard from each other's titles. In state-owned enterprises, older people are generally called Zhang Gong, Gong Li and Sun Gong. For leaders, position is often more important than name, and all titles should be crowned with official titles. For example, general manager Liu and director Wang are unlikely to be called by their names, which reflects a distinctive and hierarchical corporate culture. Among peers, if the other person's name is two words, they are basically called by their first names; If it is three words, add "Xiao" before the surname, such as Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang. He reminded that in state-owned enterprises, institutions and other enterprises with heavy hierarchical concepts, it is best to be commensurate with administrative positions, such as general manager Zhang and others. It should be noted that when addressing, we should also pay attention to both positive and negative aspects.

It's best not to call them by their first names.

Mr. Li said that for small and medium-sized private enterprises, the general corporate culture is relatively relaxed and the relationship between colleagues is relatively relaxed. You can call the supervisor by his/her first name, and even use nicknames such as "handsome boy" and "beautiful girl" to call him/her "boss". He suggested that newcomers in the workplace ask their colleagues first, or pay attention to what others call themselves. When we meet for the first time, we can also say politely, "I'm sorry, I'm new here and I don't know what to call you." I don't blame people who don't know. Usually the other person will tell you what his colleagues usually call him. But as a newcomer in the workplace, it is better not to call each other by their first names directly, even if they are unfamiliar, it is better than calling them by their first names.
