Professionalism
is a determined effort by
everyone in the workplace to give
their best each and every day.
“Businesses of all
sizes rely on credibility,
confidence and reputation
to survive, and their people are
part of that impression.”
Professionalism & Workplace Savvy
by Erica Feigenbaum, Demand Media
Path to Professionalism
 Punctuality and Attendance
 Communication
 Presentation and Appearance
 Competence and Initiative
 Respect
PunctualityandAttendance
“80% of success in life is just showing up.”
- Woody Allen
 One of the most important qualities an employee
can display is dependability
 The main factor in being dependable is attendance
 Attendance is usually the top priority when it
comes to an employee's performance and is
necessary for continued professional growth
Problems of Poor Attendance
Company
Drop in productivity
Staff
Extra work for others
Financial
Cost of temporary
replacement
When one staff member has
consistently poor attendance, it
affects all areas of their business:
Punctuality
If you arrive 5 minutes late and
leave 5 minutes early every day, you
have stolen 30 hours of work time
from your employer in one year.
Punctuality Tips
 Be at your workstation when the
business day starts.
 Be clear on time allotted for
lunch and breaks.
 Don’t pack up until the work day
is over.

face-to-face conversation

Winston Churchill
