Importants 12 Professional Behaviour

20. 1. Honesty:
Always act openly. Never share confidential,
privileged or client information unnecessarily,
and don’t tolerate or justify dishonest
conduct by others. Report any conflicts of
interest immediately.

21. 2. Respect:
Maintain a respectful attitude to others at all
times, even during stressful times. Don’t lash
out at colleagues or disrespect anyone
(senior or otherwise). Always use appropriate
language (verbally and in writing) and don’t
swear. Apologise for errors or
misunderstandings, and keep your personal
opinions of others private.

22. 3. Meetings:
Arrive on time and be prepared by reviewing
the agenda or meeting notes in advance.
Make contributions to discussions where
appropriate, and don’t take over when
someone else is trying to talk. Respect the
meeting convenor or chair, follow the
appropriate format, and ask considerate
questions.

23. 4. Communication:
Speak clearly and in language others can
easily understand, act courteously and use
good manners when engaging with others.
Follow any company guidelines regarding
content, read information provided before
asking questions, listen to others when they
are talking or explaining, and don’t engage in
office gossip. Be careful of language and tone
in written communications, and don’t copy in
others unnecessarily when emailing (but
don’t intentionally exclude others either).

24. 5. Time Management:
Don’t be late to work, instead arrive a few
minutes early to settle, get your coffee and
greet co-workers. Follow lunch and break
schedules by leaving and returning on time.
At the beginning of every day, review your
schedule so you know what time you have to
be where, and what workload you have on
that day.

25. 6. Integrity:
Act ethically and do the ‘right’ thing at all
times, always report suspicious people in the
office, misconduct, or other violations of
company policy. Remain impartial keeping
any personal bias and intolerances out of the
workplace.

26. 7. Safety:
Understand the company safety policy and
report any maintenance or other hazards
immediately.

27. 8. Corporate Goals:
Have an understanding of your company’s
missions, goals and objectives and the role
that you play in achieving those.

28. 9. Dress:
Dress in clean, appropriate clothing. Follow
any dress code standards or guidelines and if
there aren’t any, avoid clothing that is
revealing, provocative, or includes offensive
language or pictures.

29. 10. Accountability:
Take responsibility for your work and actions,
do what needs to be done, and don’t leave it
for others. Be honest if things go wrong, or
you don’t finish something on time, then
work out an effective resolution to move
forward. Seek help early if you need it.

30. 11. Teamwork:
You often need to work with people that you
may not necessarily like. Set aside
differences to work well with others since
teamwork sometimes even outweighs
performance – with people who work well
with others often advancing based on that
aspect.

31. 12. Commitment:
Dedication and a positive action to your role
and the organization can carry you a long
way. Plus, dedication from employees is
often contagious with others being inspired
to go the extra effort themselves.

32. Essentially, being professional is about giving
your best at all times. Think about how your
behavior will be perceived by others and
make sure to understand and follow company
codes of conduct where they exist.
