Business Etiquette: Speaker Phones

Business Etiquette: 'Speaker Phones’


International Business Etiquette Expert and Executive Coach
Speaker phones are a great tool in business for making conference calls, but they can also be an incredible nuisance. Be considerate of people around you when using yours. In today’s world of offices without walls or doors, speaker phones should only be used behind closed doors.

The speaker phone function is not intended for your convenience so you can engage in a variety of activities while talking on the phone. Think of the effect on the people who are trying to work in adjacent cubicles and consider the privacy of the person on the other end of the line. Then schedule a conference room or borrow someone else’s private office before you dial.
