Having a high level of work ethic in your company will definitely solidify your company’s foundation and ensure your progress in the future. Work ethics are the set of principles and guidelines that employees from the top management all the way down to the rank and file workers must strictly follow. It controls and orchestrates the environment and overall vibe of the company. Without work ethics, everything would be in disarray from your operations up to your policy making board.

There are many people, even graduates and licensed professionals that cannot separate their personal lives from their work. This speaks about the level of their professionalism. A true professional is one that is able to focus and channel all their energy and attention to their work during business hours. It is having an ability to separate different aspects of one’s life, and giving time for each other. It is about the respect and importance that one gives to their job. And this can be achieved by setting high expectations for work ethic.

Employees that value their work ethic are probably those who are very productive and are efficient in their work. They can produce the best results with limited resources. Employees like this are surely those who place importance on their work ethic and productivity.

A company who values work ethic will have responsible employees. They are self-sufficient and have a sense of initiative. They require less supervision and most likely will have the interest of the company in all of their actions.

Not only will the company benefit from employees with strong work ethic, the employees themselves will also benefit. It will help them grow as employees and help them advance in their careers. Their productivity, responsibility, initiative, and concern for the company will definitely attract the attention of their supervisors and managers and will eventually pave the road towards potential promotions.

I think it makes such a difference what type of manager you have. People respond best when their work is valued

We work for the state, where if you do more work you can’t get a raise and if you do better than others you can’t get a raise. Most who have a good ethic continue to do so, but what drags us down is having to cover, make excuses, and work alongside others where management can’t take action. Too scared of grievances even for highly inappropriate things. It’s very frustrating.
