Have the rules of etiquette changed in today’s world of work?

Some key findings from the survey include:

• Face-to-face connection matters: Seeing the person you’re speaking with creates a slightly more genuine connection, especially with someone rarely seen in person. 36% always keep their camera on , while only 10% prefer to simply offer their voice. Additionally, 36% of workers choose to display a customized background or image, while 13% prefer a plain wall background.
• Online courtesy is key: 32% of respondents consider two minutes as the maximum acceptable delay for joining a call , while 20% believe up to four minutes is reasonable without being disrespectful.
• Vacation time is important: Nearly half of professionals believe three to four weeks per year is a reasonable amount of time off. However, when it comes to disconnecting, nothing seems quite enough: 42% feel that more than five to six weeks is the ideal.
• Notifications are too much: Staying updated with what’s happening in the organization is important. However, 30% of workers turn off notifications, and 20% only respond when directly mentioned. Only 25% regularly check notifications as they arrive.
• One year is a good target for promotion: The time it takes to be eligible for a promotion remains crucial in professionals’ perceptions. Over half of respondents (51%) feel one year is an appropriate period to be considered for advancement.
• Career hopping has become commonplace: Three to five years is what 66% of people consider ideal for staying in the same job. Gone are the days when individuals aimed to “build a career” within one company.
• Flexible work options rule: 73% of respondents believe all companies should offer flexible work arrangements.
