Manners when using an elevator

We want to tell you about some manners you should remember when using an elevator at work.
First, when you’re waiting for an elevator, you stand at the side of the doors so that you won’t get in the way of people coming out.
You should also take care about where to stand inside the elevator. When you are with visitors or bosses, you take the lead in operating the control board by standing closer to it.
You never know who might be riding in the elevator with you, whether visitors or people from other departments. So, you should suspend conversation to avoid disclosing any confidential information.
This also applies to elevators inside department stores or hotels— you should basically refrain from talking. It’s also being polite to the other people who are riding in the elevator with you.
