Work Ethics: Pre-Immersion - Grade 12

Pre-Immersion – Grade 12
Work Ethics
Imagine you are an employer of a company. There are two
applicants left after previous screenings. But you need only one to fill
in the vacant position. Whom are you going to choose? Is it the applicant
with very good credentials besides being an honor graduate, but during
the interview, he appears to be arrogant as seen on his ways or actions;
or is it the other applicant who is just an ordinary graduate but seems
to be humble and sincere as what is projected in the interview?
Most of the time many choose the second applicant. He may not
be as academically good as the other applicant but the way he answers
during the interview revealed his character; the interviewer considers
much the attitude. That’s why, your attitude towards work is very
important which is about our lesson for today, Work Ethics.
Work Ethics is a group of moral principles, standards of behavior, or

set of values regarding proper conduct in the workplace. (Webster
Dictionary)
Some of you after graduation, you might prefer to work right away or
others after college they will go on work. During this Work Immersion, you
will be deployed in a certain institution or company. It is necessary to know
if your actions conform to the work ethics. You can ask yourself: Do I show
respect to everyone in the workplace? Am I becoming rude to others? or Did
I tell the truth about the problem?
There are many instances or stories you heard about employees being fired
from a job or work. What could be the reasons? These are some of them:
1. Noncompliance with the rules and regulations

2. Harassment to fellow employees
3. Theft or stealing
4. Utterance of offensive language
5. Negligence of the responsibility
6. Troublemakers or frequent cause of conflict
7. Grievous offenses

1. Honesty. An honest employee fosters good reputation to an

organization. So be honest by telling the truth at all times and
never attempt stealing nor theft, just like a tricycle driver who
returned the lost money and gadget to the owner.
2. Punctuality. You need to submit your work early or on
time.
Always come to your work 15 minutes before the time.
3. Integrity and Loyalty

Never disclose nor reveal nor share confidential matters. You must be
trustworthy so that people will rely and trust you.
4. Teamwork. Be a good
team player with your
colleagues in a workplace.
Always help one another to
achieve more.

6. Productivity. You have

to accomplish more within
the stipulated or specified
time. Never use your time for
doing nonsense things like

chatting, gossiping, texting,
etc.
8. Reliability. It is a quality of being

able to be trusted or believed because of
working or behaving well. Your employer
trusts you that you can do your own work
without so much supervision. You can also
be asked for help at times your employer
and your co-worker.

a. 9. Commitment
to Excellence You
do not only work just
for compliance but
you work hard to
produce the best
output or best
quality.

10. Professionalism. It is more than just how you look but

it’s a way of speaking, behaving and even thinking that helps a
person to be successful in the workplace. You must know how
to follow all workplace rules. You also know how to admit if you
made a mistake and learn from it. Ask for help if you’re not sure
how to handle a situation. Language is an important aspect of
communication whether you are talking with a co-worker in the
privacy of your own office or to a customer. Practice using
language that is appropriate for the workplace in your everyday
conversations so that you get into the habit of sounding
professional. Lastly,
always dress up appropriately. https://www.conovercompany.com/5-ways-to-show-

workplace/
11. Attitude. Many always

look for an employee with right
attitude. To be a better
employee, you must listen to
suggestions. Be positive on
different challenges. You also
accept responsibility entrusted to you and admit your own
mistakes if ever you commit one. Respect everyone in the
workplace. Respect begets respect.

12. Cooperation. So how do

you demonstrate your cooperation
in a workplace? You’re right...You
know how to follow rules and
regulations of the workplace. You
also know how to get along with
others. Besides, you also show
appreciation of the privileges and never abuse them.

You need to keep in mind the following basic guidelines for good
grooming in the workplace: Wear business suits in basic colors.
1. Always be neat and clean including your teeth, fingernails, face, hair
and even your shoes.
2. Keep your pockets empty and as much as possible avoid tinkling coins
or keys and bulges.
3. Avoid eating candies, smoking cigarettes and chewing gum when you
are inside the office.
4. Use portfolio case or light briefcase when carrying important documents

with you instead of compiling these documents in folders and carrying these
between your armpits.
5. As much as possible get rid of tattoos and body piercings for these will
just make you look untidy and unprofessional.
6. Wear light perfume/cologne and minimize using lots of jewelries.
