Professionalism is Important

• Professionalism is perhaps the most misunderstood and over

described term in modern times. Therefore, it is difficult to explain
the precise expectation clearly. And because we often hear how vital
it is to behave “professionally” we go on with our own interpretation
of the expected perception.

• The customary code of conduct is our easiest adaptation on following

the method of the organization, which to us is our guide to being a
professional employee. We follow guileless like the dress code, office
hours, doing the given job in a timely manner, basic dos and don’ts,
which are self-explanatory. One doesn’t ponder over it for long and
accepts, if what is written is followed, one will be considered a
professional employee.

• But what to employers exactly mean by this term? Certainly, it’s

good to do one’s job well and show up on time regularly. But then
again are there additional things expected of you if you rightly want
to be regarded as a professional?

• Your employer might not tell you exactly about their idea of being
professional simply because they may expect you to know about it.
It may only come up when you indulge in something they term
“Unprofessional” or “Unexpected”, (for instance not attending a
meeting with equipment to take notes)

Ways to be considered a professional:
• Acting like or conceivably one will be considered professional if
your actions and presence make others think of you as a Reliable,
Competent, Dependable, Respectful, and Believer of Integrity.

• Being professional would mean to be consistently good at what you

do, staying true to your words, meeting deadlines dependable, to be
upfront about where things stand, to approach people with respect
and most importantly to be proactive in upgrading your skills, being
positive, focused, not letting your personal life dominate
professional, listening to what is being said, supporting others,
making informed decisions.

• As said earlier the definition is vast, but if genuinely thought over,

the above-mentioned traits are only a few ways to building a
Professional Atmosphere which has myriad advantages.

Why Professionalism Important?

• Creates Boundaries – Workers who conduct themselves

professionally avoid crossing their line with subordinates, superiors
or clients

• Creates an Atmosphere of Improvement – A professional

atmosphere is more conducive to success.

• The sense of Responsibility – In a professional atmosphere, an

employee while handling a task, sees the larger purpose, and hence
are able to own their actions and take appropriate decisions. One
takes pride in performing the tasks assigned to them. This adds to
the overall image of not only the employee but also showcases the
value by which the organization stands.

Why Professionalism Important?
• Mitigates Conflicts – businesses which promote a professional
atmosphere also makes it easier to deal with diverse environments
in which subordinates or even clients could have a difference of
opinion however they can agree to disagree and come together on
common grounds.

• Increased Job Satisfaction – Professionalism eliminates stress to a

great degree and once that is taken care of an employee thrives in a
healthy atmosphere leading to enhanced performance.

• Personal Growth – Not only in terms of job advancement, but there

are a certain dignity and pride in one’s work that develops. You get
appreciated for consistently good quality output and that in turn
builds your confidence, makes you a more secure person who is
then capable of handling difficult situations with refined emotional
maturity.
