Workplace Ethics - This page contains a review of the Workplace Ethics video we viewed in class. There are also graphics posted here to help you learn the information presented. While participating in Career Preparation here at Spring Woods High School, it is imperative that you develop a strong work ethic. You are developing work habits now that will last a lifetime. Let's work together to develop a strong, positive work ethic that will benefit you in both college and career!

Definition: Workplace ethics is the set of attitudes you bring to the workplace.
 * 1) Discipline is the foundation of any worth ethic.
 * 2) Always value punctuality, courtesy, and respect for others.
 * 3) Be willing to perform unpleasant tasks in order to get the job done.
 * 4) Value your time--keep a focused attention to detail
 * 5) Commit to life-long learning--it increases your value to the company.
 * 6) Be willing to network with both colleagues and others both in and out of your industry--it increases your value to the company.

A strong work ethic is more important now than ever before. In fact, a strong work ethic is a preliminary measure for employment. If a potential employer percieves a weaker work ethic during your interview, you will most likely be passed over for a job. Always view your work as a series of projects. Contribute actively to problem-solving and commit to continual self-improvement. Lead, follow, and contribute to your employment from a positive perspective. This is motivational for yourself, your colleagues, and your supervisors. Lastly, remember to always show respect for others. This lets your employer know that you are a team player.
