WHAT ARE YOUR WORK ETHICS?
Everyone has standards which guide their conduct. These standards can be applied to your
personal and business life. Such moral standards are called your ethics. Your work ethics
are, therefore, the standards you apply to your conduct at work.
A company’s guidelines and rules encourage ethical conduct of their employees. This
conduct allows one to relate effectively to others in the workplace. For Example:
Be Punctual:
Be at your work station approximately 10 minutes before starting time.
Be Time Conscious:
Take only the time allotted to you for your coffee and lunch breaks.
Before making an important business call, jot down the major points you wish to discuss.
You will then use the telephone for a minimum amount of time without overlooking anything
that needs to be mentioned.
An emergency is the only reason to make personal telephone calls during your working
hours.
Be a Consistent Worker:
Work consistently, with or without supervision
Be Courteous:
Treat others the same way as you would like to be treated. Your co-operative education
experience is the time to develop and cultivate the ability to get along well with other.
