In
business there are many important characteristics of a professional employee.
Employees show their professionalism when they are punctual and have integrity.
Though these are not all of the characteristics of a professional employee,
these are some of the more noteworthy characteristics that an employee should
have.
Punctuality
refers not only to being on time at the beginning of the workday, but also
refers to participating in all daily activities. One piece of advice given to college
graduates says: “Be punctual, ready to work and stay until the work is done,
without complaining” (Gavzer, 2008) . Punctuality is not about
showing up on time and marking off of your professionalism checklist that you
were punctual today. It’s about being an
active member of your work community and putting forth effort in every aspect
of your job.
Integrity
refers to our honesty and firmness in our moral beliefs. “Moral integrity requires one to distinguish
right from wrong, and be prepared to speak up and act for right and against
wrong, even under non-conducive circumstances” (Cleary, Jackson, Horsfall, & Walter, 2013) . An employee with integrity is an employee who
can be trusted in all aspects of their job.
Punctuality
and integrity are two of the most important characteristics of professional
employees because they are dependable to be on time and to play a large role in
their organization.
