GRADE 12 ABM – SPECIALIZED SUBJECT WORK IMMERSION
WORK ETHICS
The ten work ethic traits: appearance, attendance, attitude, character, communication, cooperation,
organizational skills, productivity, respect and teamwork are defined as essential for student success and
are listed below. The definition of each of these traits has been integrated into the program courses of
each program curriculum, thereby allowing each program to make work ethics a relevant and
meaningful part of the program curriculum.
2. Attendance: Attends class, arrives and leaves on time, tells instructor in advance of planned
absences, and makes up assignment promptly.
3. Attitude: Shows a positive attitude, appears confident and has true hopes of self.
6. Cooperation: Displays leadership skills; properly handles criticism, conflicts, and stress;
maintains proper relationships with peers and follows chain of command.
7. Organizational Skill: Shows skills in management, prioritizing, and dealing with change.
10. Teamwork: Respects rights of others, is a team worker, is helpful, is confident, displays a
customer service attitude, and seeks continuous learning.
Workplace safety encompasses many things: emergency procedures, chemical safety, first aid, equipment safety, fire
safety, electrical safety, and much more. For any employer, it is important to assess the hazards of your workplace and
act accordingly. Each workplace is different, so it will be important to tailor your safety efforts to fit the needs of your
facility. Having an effective workplace safety strategy includes providing personal protective equipment, implementing
safeguards, using administrative controls, and offering training. When workers are aware of present dangers and
understand safety procedures, you will have a happier, healthier, and more productive workforce.
A common saying is a safe workplace is an efficient workplace! Keeping workers safe will improve employee morale
and when employees are happy in their job, the more productive they will be. A hazardous workplace can cause
unnecessary stress to workers affecting their morale and ultimately production. Employees operate much more
efficiently when they know they can complete their job or task without their health being comprised. An effective
safety program also works to reduce the number of injuries and illnesses, reducing the unexpected downtime of
workers needing to take time off.
Occupational safety is important for so many reasons. Employees should not be compromising their health and bodily
safety to complete a job. Instead, employers have both the legal and moral obligation to provide a workplace that is free
from known dangers. Employers need to develop a safety strategy fit for their facility, like holding training sessions or
providing PPE at no cost. Not only will you find your employees’ morale is boosted but your production has improved
as well.
Fair Treatment
Employees have the right to fair treatment. Fair treatment involves freedom from workplace discrimination and
harassment. Anti-discrimination laws such as the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act protect
employees against unfair employment practices on the basis of race, gender, disability, pregnancy or religion.
These laws prohibit employers from discriminating against workers while making hiring or firing decisions or
proving benefits or promotional opportunities. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission governs anti-
discrimination laws and enforces employer compliance with those laws.
Working Conditions
Employees have the right to perform their jobs in a safe environment free from workplace hazards and undue
stress. Employers have an obligation to ensure the safety of workers. Harmful working conditions also may
involve unreasonable job responsibilities and work hours as well as unfair pay. Fair labor standards ensure
workers receive compensation for all hours worked. These standards also place limits on the amount of time an
employer can require an employee to perform work-related tasks.
Privacy
Employees have the right to the privacy of their personal information in the workplace. Employers have an
obligation to keep private worker information such as pay, marital status, disability and other sensitive
information. Employers cannot infringe on a worker's personal space, listen to personal phone calls or read
personal email. On the other hand, employers are free to monitor workplace communications such as Internet
usage and phone systems. Employees have a responsibility to maintain a level of discretion when using company
equipment for personal reasons.
Rights Violations
An employee who feels an employer has violated his rights has several options to remedy the situation. An
employee should bring the issue to the attention of a manager or human resources representative first. If human
resources fails to correct the situation, the employee has the right to file a formal complaint with the EEOC or
Department of Labor. These authorities investigate complaints and may file charges against the employer for
violating the worker's rights.
1. Employee Information
In the course of the job, you will hear information about individuals within your organization. Some of this will
be unsubstantiated gossip, and some will be information that you have come across in the course of your work,
especially if you are a line manager or you work in human resources.
Handling Gossip
It goes without saying that you should not spread gossip, especially if you do not know if it is true. Even just
asking someone else whether they know if it is true that x did y can have huge consequences for x’s reputation.
As a general rule, if you would not ask the person concerned, or mention it to their face, don’t mention it behind
their back.
Get a reputation for integrity, rather than one for gossiping.
If you come across private information in the course of your work, including any information that identifies an
individual (name, address, maiden name and so on), then you should not disclose it to others. This also applies to
information collected at interviews about ethnic background, disabilities and so on.
There are legal requirements about keeping that kind of information safe and secure in many countries. If you
break those laws, you are likely to be personally liable and potentially face prosecution.
2. Managerial Information
Managerial information includes both information about individuals, such as disciplinary action, and also about
broad management actions such as planned redundancies or employee relations issues.
Some types of managerial information will become public in due course—such as planned redundancies—and
other information may remain confidential for much longer.
3. Organizational Information
Organizational information is also known as business information or ‘trade secrets.
The definition covers anything not in the public domain that helps the organization do its work better or more
efficiently. It would therefore include, for example, information about industrial processes, budgets, costs,
forecasts, and even customer contact information.
WARNING!
However, forthcoming changes to data protection law in Europe (and relating to any data held on a citizen of a
European Union country) means that it needs to be considered and held differently.
If you think this may affect you or your company, you are advised to seek legal advice.
5. Professional Information
Some professionals — including doctors, lawyers and accountants — come across information about individuals
or organizations through their professional position.
For example:
Doctors know about the details of their patients’ conditions and treatments;
Lawyers know about details of wills and court cases, some of which may be protected by law; and
Accountants will know about their clients’ tax and income.
These professionals are often bound by professional codes of conduct as well as formal legal requirements.
As a result, it’s even more important for employees to demonstrate strong teamwork skills, in both face-to-face
and virtual team interactions.
Here are seven teamwork skills that are essential for your academic and professional success:
1. Communication
Communication is the foundation of effective teamwork. Whether you’re working on a presentation with your
classmates or spearheading a new project at work, it’s important to talk openly and honestly with your group
members about expectations, deadlines, and responsibilities. Establishing open lines of communication promotes
trust and makes for a positive team environment. While disagreements might occur, being upfront and respectful
in your communication with other team members will help you resolve issues quickly.
2. Time management
Time management, accountability and responsibility are all equally important for your career as they are in your
academic life. Project managers, for example, must have strong organizational skills in order to set manageable
goals for their team and keep others on track to meet their deadlines. Nurses must also demonstrate strong time
management skills, prioritizing and delegating tasks so that they can spend more time on the patients who need
extra care.
Learning how to balance multiple deadlines and assignments while you are in school will make it easier for you to
adjust to a fast-paced and collaborative work environment in the future.
3. Problem-solving
Effective problem solvers are able to think outside the box when challenges or issues arise. Rather than focusing
on negative outcomes, they stay calm and help their team work towards a solution. This approach helps uncover
roadblocks or inefficiencies that are inhibiting the team’s success, so you can work to improve those processes in
the future.
4. Listening
When working in a group, it’s important to keep an open mind. Recognize that your team members may see
things from another perspective, and hear them out. Listening to other points of view can help you see multiple
sides of an issue, including ones that you have never considered before. This allows you to be a better colleague
and leader, to anticipate needs and challenges before they arise and to respond effectively when they do.
5. Critical thinking
Critical thinking allows you to make better, more informed decisions. It can be tempting to follow along with
whatever the group decides, or what one team member believes is the best course of action, but sometimes a
different approach or a new idea can help achieve better results. By thinking critically about the situation –
examining all sides of an issue, reflecting on past experiences, and listening to what other group members have to
say – you could arrive at a breakthrough that moves your team forward in new and exciting ways.
6. Collaboration
Working in a team can be challenging at times, but more often it is a great opportunity to uncover creative ideas,
share different perspectives and experiences, as well as enhance your own skills. If you treat each group project as
a learning experience, you can help foster a more productive team environment. Your desire to learn and your
willingness to explore new approaches will make you a better contributor, manager, or leader.
7. Leadership
A leader who works well with others – both within his or her own department and across departments – can help
spread knowledge and resources, develop new leaders and contribute to an organization’s success. Leaders can
demonstrate strong teamwork skills by promoting collaboration, acting as a mentor or coach for their employees
and by empowering others to learn, grow and advance.

LESSON
Creating your résumé is the first step to getting a job. Learn exactly what goes into this important
document and start your career search off on the right foot by creating your own résumé.
A résumé is a one-page summary of your work and school experiences. Employers match your résumé
against their job openings to evaluate if you'd be a good fit. As such, it's important to make your résumé
a good representation of yourself. Here's how, step by step:
3. Write A Summary.
In one or two sentences, summarize your work experience and relevant skills. Keep this strong and
simple.
The summary can be useful to explain why you're applying for a role that is a departure from
your career path.
You don't have to include a summary, especially if your experience speaks for itself and is
relevant to the jobs you're applying for.
Don't forget to list computer programs you've had experience with; proficiency can be seen as
added value.
Examples:
Self-Motivated: Proactively organized volunteers to assist with distribution at the community food bank.
Bookkeeping: Maintained accurate, detailed inventory reports at school library and subsequently won
Top Librarian Assistant award three months straight for Brown County.
7. List Any Awards You've Won And When You Won Them.
When you've been recognized by someone else, you should let potential employers know about it. But
you shouldn't worry if you haven't received any awards; just skip this section.
Examples:
Richmond County National Essay Contest, Honorable Mention, May 2006.
Honor Roll, South Satchewan High School, Junior and Senior Years, 2008–2010.
Casual interests are better not to list (e.g., napping, watching reality TV, gossiping). This is
really about highlighting hobbies that have helped you grow as a person.
This résumé step is considered optional. If you're having trouble coming up with interests, or
feel your résumé is already too long, feel free to leave it off.
Examples:
Ceramics, camping, reading, soccer, automotive repair, carpentry
