Employers
are always wanting the best employees when hiring. They want self-sustaining individuals who
hold honesty as highest priority. Employee professionalism also involves having
interpersonal skills that support and lift the team to greater heights. Last, great employees have an enthusiastic
nature about themselves that makes the difference in group settings.
Honesty
is a characteristic that gives value and respect to whom you are as a
person. A good professional isn’t afraid
to admit that mistakes were made or to ask for help and guidance when
performing certain tasks. No person is
perfect; therefore, when errors are made, employers respect their employees
more when such errors are made known instead of hiding the mistake. (Ingram)
The
willingness to make such mistakes known contributes to a person’s interpersonal
skills. These skills usually refer to
getting a job done no matter what the process is, communicating effectively,
not complaining, gossiping, or creating hostile situations. (Ingram) A professional employee is self-motivated,
requiring little incentive to work. (Hunt)
With
these characteristics employees are able to make a difference in group
settings. Such employees have a great attitude about life and their work. They understand their job in every aspect and
strive to learn, develop, and grow in the assignments that are asked of
them.
Creating the right work atmosphere requires
professional employees to willingly engage in learning the traits of integrity,
interpersonal skills, and making a difference in group settings. Employers are always watching for these
qualifications while interacting with people all around.
