WORK ETHIC--TEAMWORK

Teamwork is a joint action by a group of people in which each person contributes his or her opinions and interests to the unity and efficiency of the group.  Teamwork also means to be alert to people's feelings, attitudes, insecurities, and be sensitive to them. The concept of Together Everyone Achieves More (T.E.A.M.), itself conveys the importance of teamwork at the workplace and other places. Working as a team allows more productivity and better solutions than if working alone. An advantage of teamwork is that the burden of responsibility is borne by all the team members and not just one individual.  In order to have an effective teamwork, we must learn to trust, be accountable, be committed, able to communicate, and manage time wisely.

 To improve my teamwork abilities, I will be honest, communicate with everyone, be accountable, and develop my time wisely.

WORK ETHIC- COMMUNICATION

COMMUNICATION

Communication is the exchange and flow of information. It displays appropriate nonverbal (eye contact, body language) and verbal ( spoken / written) skills. Communication requires a sender and a receiver. When the sender and the receiver understand the information the same, then communication is more successful. Communication is one of the most important work ethics that can be used within the workplace or school. By communicating successfully will elevate problems before they occur. Also with communication comes respect.

To communicate better we should contacts instructors to report problem in a timely manner, ask appropriate questions related to the work or school assignments, and learn to interact with employers, instructors, and others. Things that I would do to improve my communication skills:

                         Think before I speak

                         Speak slowly

                         Listen more carefully

                         Make eye contact with the person I'm communicating with

   Improving my communication skills will improve my productivity. Here is a video showing how important it is to communicate effectively:
