商务旅行中如何做到举止得体
无论你是第一次出差还是第一百次出差,了解商务旅行中的恰当举止都十分必要。作为一名代表着公司形象的商务人士,你需要了解如何做到行为得体。
大拇指简笔画●一旦确定了出差的日期,你需提前进行准备。预订机票或火车票、宾馆;如有必要,提早预订租车服务。务必备齐一切所需信息和资料。
乖张●去国外出差是一件很棘手的事情。出发前,务必购买一本当地旅行指南或向最近去过那里的人进行
咨询,了解当地的文化习俗。
●将一切重要物品整理好,装在随身携带的旅行包内,以防航空公司弄丢了你的托运行李,给出差带来不便。记得带好电子设备的充电器。
●全程着正装,这一点很重要。你的着装要能体现出你正在出差。无论是在旅行途中还是在参加会议时,你要确保在任何场合都着装得体。
●通常来说,商务宴会是与同事或客户交流的好机会。但餐桌礼仪非常重要。第一印象很关键,任何人都不希望由于举止不当而损害自己或公司的形象。参加宴会之前,请温习餐桌礼仪以及商务宴请的基本礼仪,以避免在截然不同的文化背景下失礼。代表公司出席宴会时,不要过量饮酒,这是基本常识。
●记得把出差的发票保存好,以便出差结束后报销费用。
●为避免商务活动时间被占用,请不要安排休闲活动。远离赌博或饮酒等一切可能不合适的行为。请牢记,在商务旅行中,你的时间并不归个人所有。在这段时间里,你要为你的老板工作,老板不是付钱让你游玩、购物或观光的。
