Ethics is what defines us from taking the right or wrong path in life , being able to distinguish for the better of personal development or just looking at short term gain. Ethics will always give you pride in your work and justification on doing what you do and why !!!

Work ethics are important because of the following:-

1. Your Arrival at Work Sets the Tone for the Day

Picture Mr. Stressed-Out and Grumpy. He arrives at work with a frown on his face. His body language telegraphs over-worked and unhappy. He moves slowly and treats the first person who approaches him abruptly. It takes only a few minutes for the entire workplace to get the word. Stay away from Mr. Stressed-Out and Grumpy if you know what's good for you this morning.

Your arrival and the first moments you spend with staff each day have an immeasurable impact on positive employee motivation and morale. Start the day right. Smile. Walk tall and confidently. Walk around your workplace and greet people. Share the goals and expectations for the day. Let the staff know that today is going to be a great day. It starts with you. You can make their day.

2. Use Simple, Powerful Words to Motivate Employees

Sometimes in my work, I get gifts. I recently interviewed an experienced supervisor for a position open at a client company. She indicated that she was popular with the people at her former company as evidenced by employees wanting to work on her shift.

Responding to my question, she said that part of her success was that she liked and appreciated people. She sent the right message. She also uses simple, powerful, motivational words to demonstrate she values people. She says please, thank you, and you're doing a good job. How often do you take the time to use these simple, powerful words, and others like them, in your interaction with staff? You can make their day.

3. For Employee Motivation, Make Sure People Know What You Expect

In the best book I've read on the subject, Why Employees Don't Do What They're Supposed to Do and What to Do about It Compare Prices, by Ferdinand Fournies, setting clear expectations is often a supervisor's first failure. Supervisors think they have clearly stated work objectives, numbers needed, report deadlines and requirements, but the employee received a different message.

Or, the requirements change in the middle of the day, job, or project. While the new expectations are communicated - usually poorly - the reason for the change or the context for the change is rarely discussed. This causes staff members to think that the company leaders don't know what they are doing. This is hardly a confidence, morale-building feeling.

This is bad news for employee motivation and morale. Make sure you get feedback from the employee so you know he understands what you need. Share the goals and reasons for doing the task or project. In a manufacturing environment, don't emphasize just numbers if you want a quality product finished quickly. If you must make a change midway through a task or a project, tell the staff why the change is needed; tell them everything you know. You can make their day.

4. Provide Regular Feedback for Employee Motivation

When polling supervisors, the motivation and morale builder they identify first is knowing how they are doing at work. Your staff members need the same information. They want to know when they have done a project well and when you are disappointed in their results. They need this information as soon as possible following the event.

They need to work with you to make sure they produce a positive outcome the next time. Set up a daily or weekly schedule and make sure feedback happens. You'll be surprised how effective this tool can be in building employee motivation and morale. You can make their day.

Your work ethic will define how you will perform in your job duties

Work ethics are very important and every member of the organization should have a well ethics orientation, and must be continually endorsed. The worse thing can happen at any business is the lack of ethics where no one has limits or value but his own interest and his own benefit. And let me describe the environment as soon as no ethics are governing the organization or the office conflicts.

 

  You will find the well-disciplined members of your team will seek a better environment to work at where they can do their job without getting into everyday meaningless hassles.

 

 

 

Your team will be a bunch of difficult employers, with nothing to give to work.

 

Hearsays and wrong information are everywhere.

 

Productivity and quality will drop sharply, as everyone either is doing others work r no one at all is doing his job.

 

Chaos is the real governor now at the place.

 

When errors occur, and they occur at any organization, the number of errors are massive and fetal.

 

No one will provide a solution, or take responsibility to his deeds.

 

No one is loyal to this place; no one cares about the reputation of the organization or the total profit.

 

Shortly, you will find yourself surrounded by:1) inefficient members of the team

 

2) incoherent team members.

 

3) long time and efforts are consumed to solving office conflicts

 

4) lower standers of responsibility

 

5) massive and fetal errors,

 

6) getting incapable of locating source of problems due to the inflation of hearsays and rumors

 

7) overstuffing

 

Finally, lower productivity, lower accuracy and fights are everywhere....where no one has the ability or the desire to solve.

Yes they are significantly important, work ethics reflects the employee's preferances in hard working, reliability and  qualifications for promotion . Being loyal to the work, respect the work enviroment and dealing with co-workers professionally is going to have a positive reflection in the over all business processes if work ethics were the base of performance for each employee and employer.

I think i  sample answer , With no ethics no life at all , meaning Any person with no eithics not only in work but in all his / her life MUST have ethics in order to leave the life as normal person and not as a crminal.

I believe that the ''work ethics'' is the most important factor in securing the future of any business at the both concerned levels which is the employee level or even the business nature level. 

 

Simply it defines " The rules of work " which is shaping the business models and their structures .
