PRO TIP

SUCCESS IN THE WORKPLACE:
Integrity and Professionalism

Having integrity and being professional are two essential concepts that are closely related.

Integrity refers to being honest and having strong moral standards. It means doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
Professionalism refers to acting appropriately in your job and workplace. For a skilled worker, this means dressing appropriately, following safety guidelines, and doing your best work.

Integrity and professionalism go together because both are necessary for success in your career. If you have integrity, your coworkers, customers, and bosses will trust you. This trust will help you develop positive relationships and a good reputation, which are important for success in your trade. Also, if you behave professionally, you will be seen as a skilled and dependable worker, which will make you stand out from others in your field.

So, having both integrity and professionalism is necessary for success in your trade. By being honest and having strong moral standards, and by behaving professionally, you will build a solid reputation, gain trust, and be seen as a skilled and reliable worker.
