Unwritten Company Rules You Won't Find in Any Employee Handbook

[Adewale Stock]

Starting a new job, you may get a warm welcome as you're introduced to your coworkers and possibly taken out to lunch by your manager. Your onboarding process may contain information about the organization's beliefs, goals, and mission. However, there is another category of company rules that are not documented anywhere. They not only regulate how things are done, regardless of what else you may have heard, but they also define the organization's culture.

Unwritten Company Rules You Won't Find in Any Employee Handbook​

Below are six things you should observe about the company rules you won’t find in your employee handbook.

The Organization's Open Door Policy​

You can come across a hidden gem of a company that will inform you the CEO's door is always open! Bring your greatest ideas and share them with us! We'd love to hear from you! The truth could be entirely different. Your manager, it turns out, does not like the thought of you walking into the executive suite and pouring all of your genius. Furthermore, as attractive as an open-door concept is, it is not always feasible. The CEO may never be there or may only have a few minutes to spend with you or any other employee. If your organization claims to have this policy, keep a careful eye on who utilizes it (and what happens when they do). It is preferable to be

Dress Code​

You dressed to impress when you were called in for an interview with the hiring manager and your potential teammates, but do you need to repeat that appearance regularly? Take note of whether your coworkers are wearing jeans and flip-flops or business-casual attire as you move through your new job. Depending on your role, you may or may not be able to pull off the T-shirt and sneakers. However, keep in mind that your clothing might influence how confident, creative, and competent you feel. And it certainly influences how you are seen by the group as a whole, so dress appropriately. Also, have a look at how the team manages tattoos and piercings. Some businesses.

When To Close Work For The Day​

The most important thing, of course, is that you do your task and that your boss is aware of it. If the push to remain late never goes away, or if your performance suffers as a result, this may not be the culture for you.

What Flex Time Means​

If you work remotely or in a hybrid arrangement, part of the job pecks could be flexible working time. Why shouldn't you enjoy the concept of flex time? You probably chose to apply for the job because you loved the concept of being able to choose when you log in and when you arrive at work. Perfect, you thought as you signed on the dotted line: no more worrying about how long your dentist visit will keep you away from your desk. Take note, however. Is your workplace truly committed to the flexible arrangement that it promotes? Or do you notice that most of your coworkers arrive at their desks before 8 a.m. and rarely leave before 6 p.m.? Is it ever necessary to leave the office at noon for a bank run, a trip to the pharmacy, or even a quick lunch? Take a look at this critically.
