1. General rules
The specifics of entrepreneurial activity make it very
serious requirements for the appearance of its participants. Appearance
business person is the first step to success, because for a potential
partner, his suit serves as a code indicating the degree of reliability and
respectability.
Neat, tastefully dressed, smart - this is his appearance
a business person who is favorably perceived by surrounding partners and
clients. And the point here is not some kind of sophistication of taste, but the fact that
the appearance of such a person testifies to his respect for people.
Like any professional group of people, entrepreneurs
There is a certain stereotype regarding clothing. Having visited any
international fair or exhibition, you will notice that most
booth exhibitors show a surprising similarity of views in choosing colors
tie, shirt or suit.
Nowadays, many entrepreneurs take advice into account
fashion designers. The fundamental principles when compiling a wardrobe, according to them
In my opinion, clothing should become universal. If you have a lot in your wardrobe
items that are rarely used means the wardrobe is not composed correctly.
Oddly enough, the modern business world is conservative when it comes to fashion.
During working hours, it is customary to wear lighter suits than at receptions,
Moreover, the tones of suits in the summer should be lighter than in the winter
time. Suits in bright colors, as a rule, are not worn during working hours.
The shirt is also chosen in light colors, often white. Color is also important
tie. There is a rule that the tie should be the same tone as
a shirt and a suit, but lighter or darker, or a suit and tie should
be contrasting tones.
Currently, preference is given to ties that are not too bright
colors, as well as ties without a pattern or design, although only a few years old
ago, “firmachi” almost universally wore ties in red tones, traditionally
dark blue suits. True, this was typical for younger
managers who wanted to look fashionable and elegant.
It is also worth asking what form of tie is currently in fashion. If
narrow ties are fashionable, then too wide, of course, will rush into
eyes.

from under the sleeves of the jacket (about two centimeters). Although, of course, in

sleeves than in a suit, constantly wiping sweat from his face.
On a business trip, a manager often does not know where and how he will spend the day,
whether or not he will have time to return to the hotel and change clothes according to the occasion.
Therefore, a dark blue or dark gray suit is the most common type
for every occasion.
As for shoes, it is advisable to wear black shoes. In summer to

It is better to have socks that are not very bright and catchy, preferably gray or dark, and
for a beige-brown suit - brown. It should also be kept in mind that

wealth is considered a serious sin in business.
Nevertheless, our Russian nouveau riche, finding themselves overseas, are trying
keep up with the rich, leading a luxurious lifestyle, not sparing their own, but
rather other people's funds.
Naturally, this does not raise the authority of our entrepreneurs, but
on the contrary, it raises doubts about their integrity.
Ostentatious luxury is easily forgiven by the Arab rich - it corresponds
their generally accepted appearance and behavior. And the stereotype of “good domestic

Typically, an employee’s workplace consists of a table, a chair, various additional mobile accessories, and sometimes racks for storing documents and a wardrobe for outerwear. Thus, it is best to purchase a three-level desk for an employee - with a lower cabinet for storing personal belongings, a height-adjustable tabletop and various add-ons on which you can place everything - from a computer monitor to office supplies.
Very convenient are desks that have the function of slightly tilting the tabletop forward - this makes it more convenient to write by hand (this is important for those employees who, as part of their duties, have to manually fill out documents). And for those who exclusively use a computer, roll-out shelves installed under the tabletop will be extremely useful - they can accommodate a keyboard.
According to the SES requirements, which you will have to follow if you want to undergo certification, accreditation or licensing of an organization, the employee’s desk must be spacious enough to place the monitor at a distance of 0.5 m from the eyes. A special stand should be provided for the feet, and the height of the table top should be adjusted within the range of 60-85 cm. Now all office furniture manufacturers are trying to meet these requirements - you are unlikely to find “non-format” tables on the market. But additional care will have to be taken about the level of illumination in the workplace, also controlled by the SES. Firstly, employees simply cannot work in a room without natural light without special permission from this very SES. And secondly, the level of illumination in the workplace should be at least 300-500 lux.
(in fact, these are “luxes” - units of illumination measurement) - just remember that such numbers are provided by an ordinary desk lamp - and it should be at the workplace of every employee.
Of course, wires running from sockets to monitors and lamps do not decorate the office. They need to be hidden - for example, in this way: arrange electrical wiring under the floor, and route the cables into the hollow legs of the tables. If the table is equipped with sockets located under the tabletop, the wires will no longer spoil the appearance of your office.
Now about the chairs. Your employees do not sit in one place all day - the work process involves their business communication with each other. And each time, to do this, you have to get up, go to your colleague’s desk, then sit back down... Precious minutes of working time will not be wasted if you take care of the mobility of your employees’ chairs in advance - they must be equipped with wheels. Well, in addition, it must meet all ergonomic requirements - prevent the muscles of the neck and lower back from becoming stiff during monotonous work, provide back support, comfort and convenience.
The color scheme of furniture for employees should be in harmony with the overall design of the room, but in any case not be too bright - if there are a lot of workspaces, the abundance of color will begin to tire the eyes of visitors. In addition, the influence of color on the psyche is well known, and if you do not want to liken the office to a bright rag that provokes the rage of a bull, it is better to be content with generally accepted colors - gray, beige, olive, etc.

-----------------------
The condition of the employee's office space and workplace affects the efficiency of his work.
Let's first consider the requirements for office space.
There are two types of organization of workplaces in office premises:
The hall structure allows for the placement of an almost unlimited number of workstations in one hall. Light partitions are placed between tables or groups of tables; usually they do not reach the ceiling and only visually create some illusion of isolation; employees have to work in a “speech cocktail” environment.
The hall system of labor organization is more economically profitable than the office one. In addition, it allows the manager to visually monitor his subordinates. However, for those who work in a large hall, working conditions are more difficult than in a cubicle office structure. A large number of people and equipment, concentrated in one room, although quite spacious, undoubtedly creates quite noticeable inconveniences for those working in a hall-based work organization. Not everyone can cope with work in such conditions, this must be kept in mind both by those who are hired and by managers and personnel management employees carrying out the hiring.
Another way to organize work in an office space: several tables are placed together - four or six. The surface of each table is an individual sector of work, however, the specific arrangement of tables - right next to each other - firstly, allows you to save space and, secondly, allows the manager to see what his subordinates are doing, and also, when consulting one of them, to give at the same time explaining to others; It is easier for employees sitting at such a group of tables to discuss emerging issues and make joint decisions. Sometimes in a room with a large area (hall), tables are placed in such groups. Each group of employees deals with similar or similar problems.
However, the organization of workplaces in a hall, as well as the joint placement of tables, are acceptable if the working conditions do not require a flow of visitors to each of the employees. It's hard to imagine visitors (clients - potential or real) wandering through the labyrinth of employees' workplaces.
But the two main criteria for assessing the effectiveness of workplace organization - efficiency (simply cheapness) and the ability to constantly monitor employees in the room - outweigh.
The office system can be represented by two types of premises.
The first is that in a room consisting of one room, employees’ desks are placed, however, since the area of the room does not exceed 25-40 square meters, no more than 5-8 tables are placed there. In such conditions, it is convenient for each employee to work with visitors. However, in order to monitor the work of his subordinates, the manager needs to go through a number of such rooms, finding out what his subordinates are doing. This leads to psychological discomfort for both the manager and subordinates, whose jobs are located according to the office system.
The second type of office system is a room for one person - a manager.
A standard manager's office assumes the presence of three zones - work, deliberative and informal communication zones.
The manager's desk is located in the work area; the desktop can be supplemented with various technical means - a computer, fax, etc. However, technical equipment is not a mandatory attribute of the work area - the higher the manager’s rank, the more unlikely it is that there will be equipment in the work area of his office - there is a secretariat for working with equipment. In the meeting area there is a fairly large table, since meetings are often held directly in the manager’s office, and not in a separate meeting room. There is usually a stack of sheets of paper on the table - for meeting participants, pens or pencils - so that notes can be taken. Sometimes the meeting table contains a diagram of the organization's structure, calendars, transportation diagrams, and similar information materials. During the meeting (5-10 minutes after the start), coffee can be served - it is not served separately, but is served by the secretary (this is his responsibility) to each of the meeting participants. (Please note that it is not customary to serve baked goods with coffee.)
The informal communication area consists of several armchairs, a coffee table with an ashtray (if the manager allows smoking in his office), and sometimes there is a bar here. The furniture and area of the informal communication area depend on the manager’s job level, the scale of his activities and the activities of the organization.
In the modern business world, it is customary to paint or wallpaper the walls of office premises for various purposes in light neutral tones - light gray, beige, etc.
The floor in office premises is increasingly being made of tiles - in any case, tiles predominate in corridors and halls. Parquet is an expensive flooring, so parquet flooring is for individual offices of managers, for formal office premises, in other cases - a standard flooring with a smaller or larger pile or, which is much less common, linoleum.
Decorations in office premises are quite appropriate, but their acceptable list is very limited - these are prints, paintings, engravings, but the content of the above items of fine art should not be aggressive or provoking despondency. Most often these are landscapes, still lifes, radiating calm and balance.
A license, diploma or other document indicating a high level of performance of official duties or the implementation of areas of activity can serve as decoration for the walls of the office premises and at the same time as an official “accessory” of the organization’s image.
Flowers can be a wonderful decoration for office spaces of all types. They not only decorate, but also create an informal atmosphere and soften psychological tension if the situation is close to conflict. But not every plant is appropriate in an office space. Large-leaved flowers are preferred; small evergreen trees in tubs (wooden or ceramic) placed on the floor also look good.
It is also customary to use small sculptures as decoration - such objects are usually present in the offices of fairly high-level managers.
In office premises for ordinary performers there is a need to have various information materials in an accessible form; it makes sense to frame them in such a way (a beautiful frame) that they also serve as decoration.
It should also be noted that it is inappropriate to decorate an office space or a separate workplace with various pictures or postcards sent by a “beloved friend” (friend) and pasted on the wall.
Objects of a personal nature are unacceptable in the workplace - photographs of family members (even if framed), all sorts of touching figures and similar small things.
It should be remembered that decorations in the office space should not be in excess; on the contrary, a small amount of them is intended to highlight the severity and formality of the atmosphere. Individual offices also cannot be turned into a boudoir, covering the walls entirely with paintings, installing aquariums and even mini-fountains everywhere.
Currently, in world practice, it is customary to equip the working premises of an organization with standard furniture, produced in series, sets - for different tastes, of greater or lesser cost. Private companies sometimes use not standard furniture for the offices of top-level managers, but custom-made furniture, sometimes even by hand, i.e. expensive furniture to emphasize the official rank of the owner of the office.
The organization of office premises, the placement of workplaces in them, the location of various departments and services of the organization near or far from each other (for example, on different floors or at different ends of a long corridor) - all this influences the level of ethics, manifested in actions, the nature of relationships , the behavior of individual employees and the entire team as a whole. So, the correct organization of work increases the level of ethics in the organization, as it helps to reduce the number of conflicts, relieve psychological tension during official contacts during meetings, joint decisions on various issues, and simply in the process of performing official duties during everyday routine work.
To provide an employee with a decent workplace, it is necessary, guided by the organizational chart of the enterprise, to take into account the “protocol features” of a given office space allocated for an employee of this position.
In every organization there are key positions on which the system of work of the entire organization as a whole is built. Let us recall the famous statement of the American classic Edgar Allan Poe: “The system is the basis of any business.”
