"Adapt to the culture" is about proactively learning the office norms, leaving personal issues at home, and actively supporting others... simple rules to become a beloved coworker in the workplace.
Changing 3 companies but Dang Hai Trieu, a marketing employee of a service company in District 1 (Ho Chi Minh City) is always loved by everyone. Trieu’s secret is quite simple. “At each time, I have to behave appropriately. On my first day out of school, with no experience, not knowing anyone, I always strive, work hard, and demonstrate an honest attitude at work. If the boss requests work at 100%, I will try to do it at 120%. Especially, in the office with female colleagues, when there is heavy work such as carrying water bottles, carrying photocopies, I should actively help them.”
Hai Trieu also shared: “When switching to different jobs, I always maintain a strong work ethic. At the same time, due to having a sense of humor and getting to know people, I often joke around with everyone. Remember, be humorous but don’t become tactless.”
Don’t bring “home issues” to the workplace
Not bringing personal matters to the office is also a factor that makes employees beautiful in the eyes of their co-workers. In a workshop on Workplace Culture from the perspective of business leaders on September 13 in Ho Chi Minh City, Ms. Nguyen Le Anh, a training expert from Action Coach company, shared: “We should not bring “home issues” to the office. Leave them behind to wear beautiful shoes before leaving the house. It means that you should not bring family matters, outside matters that affect your emotions to the workplace.”
Mr. Ly Quang Thang, Head of Human Resources Partnership at Fast Delivery Company, shared from the perspective of a person working in the field of human resources. “For a new employee, there are many approaches, but first of all, you have to “adapt to customs”. Even a managerial position, in addition to doing tasks, you also need to learn about the organization’s culture, department culture before using your techniques. When a new staff member arrives, they should observe, be able to have lunch with colleagues to inquire in advance, or have lunch separately with someone in the group to get to know them,” Thang said
Sharing more about the experience for new employees, Mr. Ly Quang Thang said: “For work, first of all, don’t hesitate when faced with difficulties. Staying a little later, basically staying late is not effective, but people will appreciate the spirit of being eager to learn, from there, they will open their hearts to receive more guidance and trust to assign more tasks for you to experience. Actively participate in team activities in the company to connect with everyone”
Being yourself but respecting general principles
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang, Marketing Manager at a 5-star Resort, said: “You should maintain a neutral attitude when participating in a team. The larger the group, the more conflicts arise, the smarter person is disliked, the mundane person is also disliked. To have long-term stability in an office, it is best to be harmonious, neutral, not follow the crowd. Always balance between colleagues, not too close, not talking too much about yourself, and always stay calm in any situation.”
Ms. Thuy Hang also shared: “As a department head, there are many employees below, when there are new people in the room, I always introduce them to the whole team first about the new colleagues. Also, the requirement is not to speak ill of anyone in the office. Everyone supports each other at work, does not let personal emotions intrude into the collective. Thanks to that, everyone in the group is also united. For new employees, do not rush to integrate into the company by flattery or sycophancy. Just be yourself, live according to your own personality, but respect the general principles. In the first few days, people will assess the abilities of each person through their behavior.”
“Adopting good manners”, actively learning the office etiquettes, leaving personal troubles at home, and offering help proactively… these simple rules will make you a beloved colleague in the workplace.
