Final answer:
Personal space, shaking hands, and proxemics are factors that relate to the invisible barrier surrounding people in which they feel comfortable interacting with others.
Step-by-step explanation:
Personal Space: An individual's cultural background can influence their comfort zone when it comes to personal space. Many people are most comfortable maintaining an arm's length of space between each other when talking face to face. In others cultures, it's acceptable to stand closer. Pay attention to cues from co-workers and be aware that standing too close can make the other person uncomfortable. At the same time, standing too far away can give the impression that you aren't interested in communicating. Shaking Hands: Previous to 2020, people used to shake hands- but now there are many exceptions. Due to COVID, many employees still engage in some form of social distancing. Be respectful of of your colleagues' wishes, and remain true to your own comfort level. Some people don't shake hands for religious reasons. Others are just uncomfortable with the practice. A firm handshake isn't always necessary. A small wave, along with eye contact and a smile, is sometimes appropriate. Proxemics: Proxemics is the study of interpersonal space that regulates intimacy. Proxemics might indicate how close to an audience a speaker is located, whether the speaker moves around, and even how the speaker greets the audience.
