Appearance within the workplace may not seem like a key component in workplace ethics; However, the saying “dress to impress” does play a factor. Each job has a dress code that you must follow. By respecting guidelines, you are also respecting yourself and those around you. It is also important to respect any religious beliefs fellow coworkers may have that reflect on their appearance.

“A” Number 2:

One of the most valued workplace ethics and values is attendance. Those that communicate their schedule are more respected within the workplace. This includes time off, PTO, tardiness, and overall time spent in the workplace. By establishing a schedule your coworkers will respect your time and vice versa.

“A” Number 3:

Lastly, attitude within the workplace is by far the most important of the “A’s”. How you communicate with others is based on how you carry yourself.

Although bad days are going to happen, presenting yourself with a positive attitude will get you and your coworkers through the day.
