Awareness as a business person is important!
Manners to be careful on business trips

I think that many women now go on business trips like men.There are various situations such as a business trip, whether it is a day trip or staying, whether you are alone or with your boss, but here let's check the manners that can be said in common in any case.

Make sure to prepare in advance

Obviously, before going on a business tripCheck transportation, hotel location, belongings, etc.Let's keep it.In particularBusiness cards and materials related to workPlease check carefully.For those who travel a lotCreate a "business trip inventory list" etc.If you do so, you will not forget anything and you will be able to prepare efficiently.

① Suit
If you travel a long distance, choose a material that does not easily wrinkle, or bring a wrinkle-removing spray.

② Shoes
Consider walking a long distance and choose one that is easy to walk.Or bring shoes for changing clothes.

③ Portable items
Put it in your bag as a preparation for sewing kits, adhesive plasters, medicines, stain removers, etc.

④ Disaster prevention supplies
Be aware of disaster prevention supplies that can be prepared in the unlikely event of a disaster (eg, chargers, towels, transparent plastic bags, furoshiki, newspapers, portable food, portable radios, water in PET bottles, etc.).

Public transport etiquette

Business does not mean that it is different from everyday manners, but let's pay attention to the following points.

① When walking with a carry bag
Try to pull it as close to your body as possible so that you don't hit people around you (don't look at your cell phone while pulling your carry bag).

② When tilting the seat back
Say a word to the person behind you (depending on the situation of the person behind you).When you get off, put back the seat you laid down and clean up your drinks and food.

③ When traveling with your boss
The window side is the upper seat, and the boss sits on the window side seat.

④ When working on a personal computer
Pay close attention to confidential matters and personal information.

Manners at the property

Unlike private, you may make a reservation with the company name or get a receipt issued, soAs a business personPlease note the following points.

① Check out

Prepare the room to some extent.For example, instead of keeping the bed awake, put the comforter back on.Collect the used towels in the bathroom.Collect PET bottles that you have finished drinking in one place.Return the dryer and slippers to the place where they were originally.
Finally, be careful not to forget anything in the room.

② Entering and exiting late at night
Do not open and close the door roughly.

③ Corridor
Do not stand up in a loud voice.

④ In the room at midnight
Be careful of loud noises from hair dryers and TVs.

⑤ Get a receipt
Check the address, amount, date, etc. properly.

⑥ Complaint to the hotel
When making a complaint or giving an opinion to the hotel, try to use polite language.

On a business trip

When traveling on a business trip, there are many places I'm not used to, so I have to pay more attention to various things.

① Have time to spare

Due to busy traffic and different road conditions, move with plenty of time.

② Organize on the same day
When visiting a business trip, give a polite greeting, and check the business cards, materials, and details of the visit on the same day after returning to the hotel.

③ Use an appropriate amount of alcohol
When you receive entertainment from a place you visit, drink an appropriate amount of alcohol and try to be modest.

④ Keep moderation even after business hours
After work, I tend to take a break in a land I don't know in my private time, but I enjoy it as long as it doesn't interfere with my work the next day.

⑤ Do not neglect contact and report
I contact the company every day.The method may be an in-house standard tool such as e-mail or telephone, but it is better to talk to your boss directly by telephone for urgent or important items.

After a business trip

I'm asking other people to follow me while I'm away on a business trip, so when I come to workSay hello to the people around you and report to your boss that you are on a business tripLet.I usually traveled as a member of the companySubmit a business trip reportTo do.I think there is a prescribed format, so please submit it as soon as possible.
In addition, Thank you by phone, email, letter, etc. to the places you have taken care of.It would be good.

Business trips have a business purpose, unlike private trips.It is important to always act with awareness as a business person.
