employer? Explain briefly.
As an employee, I will adhere to the company’s policies and maintain proper
decorum all the time, whether the supervisors are present or not. I would also be
present in the working days and would only take absences if my health or other
equally important matters come along as I will put the company first than my
personal interests. I would ensure that the work I churn in are of quality and of
course would strictly follow the set deadlines for every work load. Lastly, in order
for the workplace to be harmonious and free from violence, I would start the
respect in myself and eventually to everyone in the organization.
