Cluster 3 - My Work Ethic

ELEMENTS OF A STRONG WORK ETHIC
Integrity
Integrity should permeate every aspect of your job, from how you deal with your clients to how you treat your co-workers and your superiors. It means doing the right things, at all times, even if no one is watching, much less your boss. Its greatest impact is seen in your relationships with the people around you, which is why integrity is seen as one of the most important ingredients of Trust.
Acting with integrity, also means behaving in a consistent manner. For example, if you are part of a team, your behaviour should be in tune with everyone, in accordance with a clear set of guidelines in working together toward a clear purpose.
Emphasis on Quality of Work
If you show dedication and commitment to coming up with very good results in your work, then your work ethic will definitely shine. While some employees do only the barest minimum, or what is expected of them, there are those who go beyond that.
They do more, they perform better, and they definitely go the extra mile to come up with results that surpass expectations. Clearly, these employees are those who belong to the group with a solid work ethic.
Professionalism
The word “professionalism” is often seen as something that is too broad or wide in scope, covering everything from your appearance to how you conduct yourself in the presence of other people.
It is so broad and seemingly all-encompassing that many even go so far as to say that professionalism equates having a solid work ethic.
Discipline
Work ethic is something that emanates from within. You can tell an employee to do this and that, be like this and like that, over and over, but if they do not have enough discipline to adhere to the rules and follow through with their performance, then there is no way that they can become the productive employees that the company wants.
Discipline involves focus, dedication and determination on your part to do what you should.
Sense of Responsibility
The moment you became part of the organisation and assigned tasks and duties, you have a responsibility that you must fulfill. If you have a strong work ethic, you will be concerned with ensuring that you are able to fulfill your duties and responsibilities. You will also feel inclined to do your best if you want to get the best results.
Sense of Teamwork
As an employee, you are part of an organization. You are simply one part of a whole, which means you have to work with other people. If you are unable to do so, this will put your work ethic into question.
Work ethic is also continuously shaped by relationships, specifically on how you are able to handle them in achieving goals, whether shared or individual.
