不笑就罰! 菲律賓市長規定員工保持微笑Philippines mayor mandates employees to smile

A mayor in the Philippines has signed an executive order adopting a “smile policy,” which states that all local government workers and officials have to smile while serving the public, in order to “give sincerity by showing a feeling of calmness and friendly atmosphere.”

It also states that there should be “strict compliance” with the policy, and those who fail to comply are threatened with disciplinary action.

Another mayor has also recently instructed employees not to frown, and all officials and employees will wear white to ensure all members of the public feel equally welcome.

友善讓你懂│解說:

在菲律賓的一位市長近期簽署了一項行政命令,市府行政單位將執行「微笑政策」,規定所有當地政府工作人員和官員在為民眾服務時,必須保持微笑,表現出冷靜和友好的氣氛,來表達政府的善意與誠意。

該項行政命令還指出,這項政策應該「嚴格遵守」,若是不願遵守的人,都將受到紀律處分,罰則目前還不清楚。

這不是第一次菲律賓有相關政策。另一位市長最近也指示市府員工「不要皺眉」,不可以臭臉,且所有官員和員工都將穿白色衣服,不能穿代表任何政黨的色彩,以確保所有民眾洽公時都感到同樣的友善。
