Work ethics represent the core values of a company. It is the social operating system that defines the employer and the employees and how they work together as a community.
We share a few attributes that have the potential to help a company thrive or cause it to suffer.
- Professional Development: It is of utmost importance for employers to have a sense of purpose. Therefore, it is up to the leaders to focus on mentoring the people who report to them. Organisations must teach and inform managers to help their team members grow individually rather than focusing only on the output. Finding the right fit while hiring will take care of the intent.
- Flexible Work Support: There have been a number of studies to support the benefits of flexible working hours increasing productivity at a company. It is up to the organisation on how they incorporate this support for their teams. Whether it is for parents to be able to step out in the middle week to tend to their child or a certified skill they are trying to hone, or simply need a break before it leads to exhaustion. Show support to the employees, and they will reciprocate with their dedication to work in the long run.
- Mental Health Wellness: Employee burnout is on the rise. Being wary of their emotional needs and accommodating wellness days is crucial. It is also essential for managers to have one-on-one check-ins with their team members. You may take into consideration if any time off is required, or offer flexible work hours, and it can go a long way in improving the work-life balance as well.
