II. A. DISCUSSION OF CONCEPTS

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.

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.
G—12 ICT of Santolan HS

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-

3
 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-professionalism-in-the-
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.

Professional Appearance and Grooming for the Workplace

In today’s competitive and modern business world, it is highly essential to adhere with
professional appearance and grooming for the workplace. 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.
