The Workplave Observation

The Workplace Organization

I believe that all organizational features are very essential for any company or business to be successful. This statement applies critically to my workplace at DPN Incorporated. Within my company there is a determine dress code, policies and guidelines that must be adhered to. Ever-changing technologies, as well as continuing societal changes, require adaptation in any workplace to productively move forward. Therefore, in this paper I will converse about the three aspects I observed at DPN Incorporated.

The first aspect I observed is how communication flows within DPN. Within my employment at DPN, I recognized that communication is represented in many forms, from verbal to written to body language. Before technologies were developed, the most common and formal way of communication in the business world was the traditional staff meetings. Since then, technologies took over and implemented emails. Now, the exchanging of emails is the dominant form of timely communication in any business unit. However, as the years passed by within my years of work experience in an office environment, technologies have continuously grown and develop bigger and better ways of communications. In today's world, emails are not the only form of communication being utilize. Instant messenger is now being used as a form of communication within the business or department. Rather than using the telephone to deliver non-critical messages or converse for a short period of time, instant messenger is now being utilized as a form of convenient way to communicate with individuals. Within DPN, each employee has instant messenger installed on his or her computer. Instead of calling the person's extension or going to his or her office, we use the instant messenger to communicate and deliver messages. Instant messenger has a feature that illustrates the individual's availability or status. At DPN, emails are mostly used for delivering critical messages and telephones are used for conference calls.

The second aspect I observed is the dress code policy and language. In the old times, men wore the traditional suite and ties and women wore dress suites. This type of dress code is what I refer as business professional attire. During these times, it was very important for individuals to dress in business professional attire and be able to speak well. With the combinations of dressing professional and speaking properly, it represented the individual in more respectful way. However, this tradition slowly and gradually worked it ways to more casual yet professional attire called business casual dress code. As this change progressed, so did the language. Nowadays employees can dress business casual and appear to be professional but not communicate professionally. Therefore, as fast as technologies changed, so did the dress and language policy. In my years of experience in the business industry and in today's business, most companies require a business casual dress code policy along with professional attitude. On the other hand, particularly in big corporations, individuals dressed in suites and ties or dressed very professionally were considered to be the executive associates, whereas before, the difference among the employees wasn't as distinguishable. At DPN, business casual attire is most desired. A neat, clean professional presence and demeanor gives employees an air of confidence and confidence can only enable productivity. However, appropriate dress may vary from unit to unit based on the employee's contact with
