The Importance of a Good Work Ethic
Employees with a good strong work ethic are critical to the success of a business. One of the key factors employers look for when hiring new employees is a good work ethic… it can be as important if not more important than experience or education.
What is a Good Work Ethic?
There’s a variety of factors that make up a good work ethic including:
Initiative:
Does the employee do things just because they need to be done rather than waiting to be told to do it?
Dependability:
Does he do what he says he is going to?
Honesty:
Can you trust him?
Responsibility:
Does he blame others or take responsibility for his actions?
Quality:
Does he take pride in her work or just do enough to get by?
Respect:
Does he respect others and can others respect him?
Teamwork:
Can he work with others and get the job done.
And finally…
Leadership:
Does he possess leadership qualities and are others willing to follow his lead?
An exceptionally good work ethic can even take an entry-level employee making less than $30,000 per year to full partner in less than three years as we will see…
