Code of Conduct for Business Handshake Etiquette

China people often use the greeting ceremony, the first is the handshake ceremony. The correct way is for both parties to keep a distance of about 1.5M after introduction or greeting each other, and extend their right hands respectively. The palm of your hand is slightly straight forward, the five fingers are close together, and the tiger's mouth is opposite. Hold them gently with a force of about 2 kg for no more than 3 seconds. At this time, the posture of the body should keep the upper body slightly forward, the head slightly lower, and the expression naturally looks at the other person's eyes to show respect.

Shaking hands is a simple matter in itself, but there are also some things to pay attention to. I have compiled the "Ten Taboos to Shake Hands" for everyone:

Avoid the wrong sequence.

In social situations, it is generally up to the venerable person to decide whether to shake hands. Who is the "honorable person"? The correct order is: lady, elder, married, senior; Accordingly, men, mistresses, unmarried people and those with lower positions can't "take the initiative". Remember to "shoot when it's time to shoot"! If you want to shake hands with many people, you should also pay attention to "first come, then arrive", that is, the same sex before the opposite sex, the elders before the younger generation, the married before the unmarried, the high before the low.

Avoid being absent-minded

When you shake hands with anyone, you should be friendly and look them in the eye when you shake hands. This not only shows politeness to each other, but also shows your confidence. When holding hands with one hand, the other hand should not be inserted into the pocket of clothes or trousers, but should naturally droop close to the outside of the thigh.

Avoid taking off gloves.

Women are allowed to shake hands with gloves in social occasions, but it also depends on the specific occasion and identity. If you are just a novice in the workplace and happen to shake hands with a powerful or respected person, you'd better take off your gloves and make yourself look more humble and decent.

Sweating or cold palms are also impolite. You can quietly wipe the sweat off your palms when people are not looking. Some girls have cold hands all year round. When shaking hands with others, there are two solutions: first, don't hold them so "real" and leave a gap when touching each other's palms; Second, come straight to the point and apologize to the other party: Hello, Mr. Li. Sorry, my hands are a little cold. The advantage of the second way is that if the two sides are unfamiliar, you can use this topic to break the ice. If both parties are women, they can greet each other on the road to health. It is a good thing to turn it into an opportunity to promote exchanges between the two sides.

Avoid palm pressing.

When shaking hands, pressing the palm of your hand will cause condescension or even contempt for the other person. If you want to show respect for others, shake hands with your palms slightly upward to show humility.

Avoid improper use of force

It is impolite to shake hands too hard; Too light is inevitably suspected of perfunctory. For the power of "2 kg", you can practice more in your daily life.

Avoid bowing.

Appropriate' nodding forward' is correct, but' going too far is not enough'; If you constantly bow and scrape in the process of shaking hands, can this scene only remind you of the "traitor" image in the anti-Japanese war movies?

Avoid inappropriate time.

The appropriate handshake time is 3 seconds. When shaking hands with people, especially the opposite sex, if the time is too long, it will give the other person the illusion that you have ulterior motives. Even if you really have ulterior motives, you'd better not take this approach, which will make girls feel that you have no literacy; If you just shake hands with aliens politely, it is more important to grasp the time.

Avoid abusing handshakes.

There are only a few situations to shake hands: one is to shake hands and show humility in front of elders, bosses or VIPs; The second is an old friend or close friend who has not seen each other for a long time. Holding hands expresses a profound emotion. In addition, shaking hands with one hand can generally express greetings.

Avoid shaking hands with your left hand

Left-handed or not, you can't shake hands with your left hand. Muslims and Indians, in particular, use only their left hand to go to the toilet or bathe themselves, and only their right hand can undertake lofty missions. So when shaking hands with them, you can't use your left hand or your hands-that's a naked insult!

Avoid cross handshakes.

In business situations, you usually shake hands with many people, either in the order of etiquette mentioned above or according to local conditions. But don't cross handshakes, whether it's holding different people with your own hands or holding another person's hand directly between the two people who are shaking hands. This is very unlucky in the west, which easily constitutes a taboo "cross" situation. Of course, there is one exception-ribbon cutting. When cutting the ribbon, time and venue are generally limited, so guests are allowed to cross their hands when standing in a horizontal line.

Shaking hands is a small matter, rudeness is a big thing. The Chinese nation is known as the "state of etiquette", and others like you to be more polite and more cultured in the process of communication. The hand is the window to the soul. Never let anyone find out through this window that you are not a "polite" person.
