What etiquette should I pay attention to when having dinner with my colleagues in the department for the first time?

Many people will face employee dinners after joining a new company, and as new employees, there are several points to pay attention to for the first dinner. First of all, you can keep a proper social distance from the people around you and talk with a gentle smile. Secondly, pay attention to table manners, observe what colleagues want to eat, and don't rush to eat; When toasting, you must pay attention to the senior with the highest status first, and remember to put down your glass.

First of all, relax, keep a social distance from colleagues around you, and talk appropriately with a gentle smile. New employees will inevitably attract the attention of colleagues around them at the first dinner party, but don't be too nervous, just relax and calmly deal with it. When you are about to take a seat, you must consider your junior qualifications in the company, and first find the last seat, that is, the position closest to the door, so as to take care of it. After taking a seat, keep a proper social distance from colleagues around you, not too close or too far away. When colleagues ask you personal questions, remember to smile, which will give people a kind feeling. You can think a little and answer sincerely. Generally, at the beginning of contact, colleagues will ask some normal questions on the desktop, which will not involve private topics.

Second, pay attention to table manners and observe colleagues around you. When the waiter starts serving, remember not to compete with colleagues for food. On occasions like this, we must pay attention to the use of public chopsticks to clip vegetables. If it's a round table, you can first pick up the easiest dish near you, and carefully observe what colleagues around you like to eat when eating. When employees eat, we must pay attention not to just eat by ourselves, or suddenly turn over the table when others are picking up food. These behaviors are very impolite. At this time, if everyone eats less of a dish, you can turn it to yourself. You must be polite in front of your colleagues. Besides, if you find that your colleague has run out of tea in his cup, you can also help pour some tea.

Third, when toasting with colleagues, we must pay attention to the relevant etiquette. When colleagues have dinner, there is no shortage of toasts. When we propose a toast alone, we should pay attention to propose a toast to the top management of the company with the highest qualifications first, and when we propose a toast together, we should pay attention to putting down our glasses. If a colleague around you is not suitable for drinking because of physical reasons, you can run an errand and pour a glass of water for your colleague. If you find that the wine on the table is finished and the boss still wants to drink, you can also help open the wine and move it to the boss's vicinity. These are the details that we need to pay attention to. If we can do it well, we can add a good impression to our colleagues around us.

At the first dinner party, new employees should be careful not to usurp the host's role and not to be immersed in their own world without saying a word. Observing the surrounding environment and blending into the atmosphere of colleagues is also very helpful for getting along with colleagues in the early days.
