Work Ethics- Appearance

Appearance:




The way that someone or something looks. An impression given by someone or something, although this may be misleading: the act or fact of appearing, as to the eye or mind or before the public.

Physical Appearance:

How can this affect your job? Your appearance is very important to most people. Your appearance speaks a lot about the person you are, and many people judge you by the way you look, act, speak, and dress. It is very important to be well groomed for your job.


Email Appearance:


Why do you need email etiquette? Because the company needs to implement etiquette rules for the following three reasons:
        • Professionalism: when using proper email language your company will
           convey a professional image.
        • Efficiency: emails that get to the point are more efficiencies than long unnecessary
           worded emails.
        • Protection from liability: Employees that are aware of the risk emails have on the            company will protect the company from law suits.

 Name five of the email etiquette rules? 
The rules of email etiquette are not "rules" in the sense that I will come after you if you don't follow them. They are guidelines that help avoid mistakes (like offending someone when you don't mean to) and misunderstandings (like being offended when you're not meant to). These core rules of email etiquette help us communicate better via email.

1. Take Another Look Before You Send a Message - Email Etiquette Rule

Don't send anything you don't want to send.
"Reply" is good. "Reply to All" is better. Right?
 3. Keep Emails Short - Email Etiquette Rule
Do not intimidate recipients with too much text.

4. Properly Format Your Email Replies, and Be Lazy - Email Etiquette Rule

Do you think quoting original text in your email replies perfectly is a lot of work? Don't let the '>' intimidate you! Here's a very comfortable, relaxed, quick and still clean and compatible way to reply properly.

5. Write Perfect Subject Lines - Email Etiquette Rule

Do you make these mistakes in your email subjects? (The key to getting your messages read is not to be clever.)

Work Ethic-Leadership/Cooperation

Leadership/Cooperation:


Leadership: has been described as the “process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task". The leader may or may not have any formal authority. Students of leadership have produced theories involving traits,[2] situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values,[3] charisma, and intelligence, among others.

Cooperation or co-operation: is the process of working or acting together. It is the alternative to working separately in competition. Cooperation is to help out or get involved, including others, encouraging, sharing, and working together.
Leadership and Cooperation work hand-in-hand to get

 the goal accomplished through the help of others.



Work Conflict:
A pull to another Hall, someone has to go to the Hall 2.
Leslie: I'm not going cause I went yesterday
Lillie: I'm not going, I took the last two pulls.
Nurse: I need to know the rules about the situation before I can sign off on you going.
Lillie: calls the supervisor and try to explain the situation.
Supervisor: who's going to hall 2, if Leslie didn't stay then it's not considered as a pull, so Leslie will have to go to hall 2.
Leslie: upset about the situation, but agreed to go to hall 2.
Leslie was pulled the day before and was sent back to her floor after about an hour later, so the supervisor said it was not a pull, and Leslie went to hall 2. It turned out to be a good night for Leslie after she went to hall 2. Sometimes conflicts arise in your work place, school, or home, just remember to keep a level head and be the bigger person and do what you can to help solve the conflict in an appropriate way.
