workplace conduct

On-the-job decorum

Workplace conduct is how employees behave on the job—their professionalism, interactions with colleagues, and adherence to company policies.

The term often appears in employee handbooks and HR contexts: She was fired for inappropriate workplace conduct.

Conduct covers everything from dress code compliance to how you treat coworkers, with violations ranging from tardiness to harassment.
