This completely updated edition of Emily Post’s essential guide to business etiquette has been fully refreshed with comprehensive advice on everything professionals and jobseekers need to know about how to succeed in the business world today.

No matter the industry or the position, business is built on relationships—and at the heart of all good relationships is good etiquette. Understanding good business etiquette skills and how to apply them to your job and your professional relationships is key to building a successful career.

Professionals—jobseekers and new hires through those in the C-suite—are given the dos and don’ts of traditional workplace etiquette, from knowing when to send a thank-you note to successfully navigating a business meal, along with modern advice addressing common post-pandemic concerns such as video conferencing norms, workflow management, and communication tools for remote work.
