UNDERSTANDING WORK IMMERSION
A. Work Ethics
Work ethics is a value based on hard work and diligence. It is also a belief in
the moral benefit of work and its ability to enhance character. A work ethic may include
being reliable, having initiative, or pursuing new skills.
Work ethic can refer to how you feel about your job or career, so it covers your
attitude and behavior. It also pertains to how you do your job, or the responsibilities
that come attached with it. The level of respect you show your co-workers and people
you come into contact with at work, and how you communicate and interact with them,
also defines your work ethic.
Work ethic is also used to refer to key characteristics that you should have, and
they include honesty, integrity, humility and accountability, among others. These traits
or characteristics will dictate how you will react or do in a certain situation, or when
you are faced with a particular circumstance. How you respond will reveal the kind of
work ethic that you have.
Work ethic is important in defining your identity. It becomes part of who you are,
and there is no doubt that a huge part of how people will view and know you will come
from what they perceive to be your work ethic.
It is one thing to proudly declare that you have a strong work ethic to your boss, but it
is another totally different thing to convince him that you really do. In fact, bosses are not
inclined to take such claims at face value, instead wanting you to convince them with actions
and not just words.
Here are the things that you can do in order to convince your employer that you
have a strong work ethic as you claim:
If you are able to finish your task ahead of time, that means you are able to
manage your time wisely. That will also give you ample time to make any adjustments,
if necessary, since there is still some time left before the actual deadline. Better yet,
you should take the initiative to set your own deadlines.
3. Be honest
The phrase may seem a bit of a cliché nowadays, there is still truth to the adage
“Honesty is the best policy”. The esteemed Warren Buffet said it best when he
cited three qualities to look for when hiring new people: integrity, intelligence and
energy. There is no way that a person can hide his dishonesty forever. Sooner or later,
it will manifest itself, and that will not do your work ethic any favors.
The biggest problem that a dishonest employee will encounter is the lack or
absence of trust from other people. Therefore, if you want to go far in your career, or
go up the hierarchy in the organization, then you should make it a point to be honest
in your dealings so that you can be trusted by your seniors and fellow colleagues.
Since we are on the topic of honesty, other things that you can do are:
Give honest feedback. This shows that you are capable of objectivity.
Managers, co-workers and even clients will value you more if you show
that you are able to provide honest feedback. Sure, this may be a
sensitive area, which is why you have to take extra care on your delivery
of your feedback. If you are able to get your message across without
openly offending anyone and igniting hostilities, then that will prove even
further the strength of your work ethic.
Own up to your mistakes. If you did something wrong, it is best to man
up and own up to it, instead of denying all blame and, worse, pinning it
on other people. This is a sign that you are unable and unwilling to take
responsibility, a sure sign that your work ethic is less than solid.
Do quality work. Employers want employees who care about the quality
of the work that they churn out, going a step above and beyond the
minimum of expectations with regard to the quality of their work. An
employee who is committed to quality in his own work is an employee
worth keeping because, at the end of the day, his work will form part of
the overall quality of the output of the organization.
Be organized. A disorganized employee is seen as someone who may
have trouble meeting deadlines and producing quality work. It’s similar
to how your personality is often judged by your personal hygiene. If you
have dirty nails or unkempt hair, you’d be immediately judged –
especially by those you are meeting for the first time – to have problems
keeping things together. It’s the same thing if you are disorganized, say,
in how you maintain your work area. If you are working with tools and
machines, leaving them lying around may even result to accidents and
injuries. Being organized shows how you are able to prioritize, and will
also provide an indication of how you can contribute to the achievement
of the goals and objectives of the company.
Be consistent. You have to continue working at your peak, getting the
best results, even when no one is watching. Some employees, in their
desire to impress their bosses, will only visibly put in more work if they
know they are being watched. This is not how you demonstrate a strong
work ethic. On the contrary, it will only paint you as pretentious, which is
one of the worst things that can taint your work ethic.
It is “do, not say”, and “act, not tell”. At the end of the day, it is your output and
your work that will speak the loudest volume about your work ethic. Show great results,
and you’ll be seen as someone with a great work ethic.
Respectfulness is, sadly, becoming more of a rare commodity these days. But
it remains to be one of the traits that supervisors are looking for to indicate whether an
employee has a strong work ethic or not.
Using proper etiquette is basic for humans, which is why it is valued greatly in
the workplace. Even a slightest shift away from proper etiquette can potentially destroy
a relationship that has been cultivated and nurtured for a very long time.
What if you are under too much pressure? Does that not give you a bit of a
leeway, so you can use it as an excuse to be rude or let your temper fly?
Stay calm and poised. Good and rational decisions are harder to come
by if anger is clouding your judgment. If you show that you are frazzled,
this will also fluster the others, and soon you’ll be dealing with a roomful
of panicking and co-workers.
Be diplomatic. Choose your words carefully, and be careful not to
offend others. Even a misplaced word here and there can potentially lead
to a blowout, which you’d definitely want to avoid as much as possible.
Listen to others’ opinions. Even if you might not 100% agree with them
in the end, giving them time to voice out their opinions and listening to
them is already a sign of respect. Besides, you may just find solutions in
those opinions.
Avoid gossiping and harmful talk about, and against, others. Idle
chit-chat is unavoidable at the workplace, but there is a difference
between chatting idly about this and that, and gossiping maliciously
about other people. This can potentially blow up and lead to conflicts and
even bigger problems. Negative talks will definitely affect teamwork if it’s
not avoided.
Show fair treatment to others. If you are in a supervisory position, you
might not be aware that you are favoring one worker over the others. If
you are dealing with clients, you might be showing a bias toward one
client while acting passively toward others. This inequity is an indication
that you may have a skewed judgment, especially when it comes to
dealing with bigger issues.
Demonstrate grace under pressure, and you can definitely convince your boss that
you have a work ethic strong enough to merit further notice during promotions to higher
positions.
Believe it or not, being sound and healthy in mind and body also contributes to
your work ethic. Let me explain why.
If you are healthy, you’ll be able to think more clearly, so you can make better
decisions and exercise better judgment when doing your work. Being healthy also
ensures that you won’t have a problem with your attendance record. You’d be able to
report to work on time, and absenteeism won’t be an issue.
In the same manner, if you are fit and healthy, you won’t have problems
socializing with your co-workers. You will also be in a positive mood, so tempers and
frustrations will not get in the way.
Therefore, make it a point to exercise regularly. Eat your meals properly and
maintain a balanced diet. Get out for some air once in a while. If you have vacation
days, make the most of them, so you can rest your mind and body. If you’re the type
to enjoy the great outdoors and commune with nature, make it a point to do that
whenever you have the opportunity to do so. This will refresh and strengthen you for
when you go back to work and carry on with your tasks and responsibilities.
If you think about it, these things are not all that difficult to do. In fact, they are
relatively easy. It is the execution that most people find complicated. Still, it is a fact
that building and maintaining a strong work ethic is not a walk in the park. It takes a
lot for a person to prove that he has one, but if you are committed and dedicated
enough, then you will no doubt be able to convince your bosses that your work ethic
is one of the things that make you an asset of the company.
A safe work environment is a productive one. No matter the size or type of the
business, procedures for safety in the workplace are a necessity for all staff. Safety
measures protect employees as well as equipment and business property. Avoiding
or minimizing injuries and damage to equipment and facilities will result in fewer
expenses and more profit for a business.
In writing up case notes, you need to be careful about what you include and
how you write this information up. Always remember the client have the right to see
files and read anything that has been written about them.
Importance of Confidentiality
One of the most important elements in confidentiality is that it helps to build and
develop trust between the client and the company.
The major purpose of obtaining a client’s consent before speaking to a third
party such as another agency or family member is to protect the confidentiality
and the privacy of the client.
It is important to keep your client’s business as just that their business. You
should only discuss matter relating to your client’s business with co-worker and
then only what to be discussed.
Respect for client’s confidentiality and staff personnel information should be
high priority for all community services to comply with legislation that governs
disclosure of information.
To ensure confidentiality, workers should only access confidential information
for the work that is covered by their job description and the policies and the
procedure of the organization.
This act covers any information that is provided or recorded within the health
system. Basically, information cannot be disclosed without the consent of the person
whom the information relates or for the purpose of legal proceedings such as court
order or subpoena that allows access to health information of the client.
This act allows for the disclosure of information without the consent. The most
important confidentiality of this act is the part that deals specifically with HIV/AIDS
related information.
Equality in a team means that the team develops methods for delegating
responsibility and performing work tasks that are equally effective for all team
members. It prevents team members from feeling alienated from the rest of the group
and helps to build a strong sense of team purpose. Encouraging a uniform distribution
of responsibility within a team helps prevent conflict. If conflict happens because one
or more team members feel that they are not being allowed to contribute, then
analyzing the team methods for work distribution and task accomplishment helps
resolve the issue.
A team develops its own hierarchy, designed to keep the group running
smoothly and effectively. But conflict can arise when some members of the group feel
that it would be better served if their ideas were more prominent in the team decision-
making process. The team needs to respect the group hierarchy to maintain
productivity. The one thing that can degrade the hierarchy is ineffective leadership.
This is where strong team conflict resolution policies come into place. The team needs
to have a way of addressing and replacing weak leadership. A process that includes
re-examining the hierarchy and a majority vote to make changes can be one way of
resolving this sort of team conflict. A majority vote prevents the vocal minority from
assuming control.
Support and Feedback
A team develops its own way of supporting members and providing pertinent
feedback. Without team members supporting each other and offering necessary
feedback on work performance, the group has no way of improving its productivity.
Conflict can arise when group members do not communicate with each other and
individuals do not know if their performance within the group is acceptable and
productive. Avoid conflict by having weekly staff meetings where members can
discuss work performance and help each other resolve workplace issues.

V. NONDISCLOSURE PROVISION
WITNESSED BY:
(REFLECTION)
REFLECTION
A. Work ethics
Values and ethics are a part of our everyday lives. We wake up to these values
and beliefs each day as they are the “rules” that govern us. Ethics is not just about
morality: it is a complex dimension of personal and corporate life that can lead to higher
performance by both business and society. All of us, especially those in the business
world, need to make immediate decisions. The choices we make need to be driven by
our ethics.
We were able to explore the standard ethical principles that I have learned from
religions, work, family, role models, experiences, school and professional
organizations, pick the most applicable ones, refine and polish them according to my
conscience. But we can still point to several specific instances if poor ethic where we
clearly made the wrong call.
Individual experiences of values and beliefs stem from the personal point of
view, a cultural perspective all the way to an organization perception. Morals also
relate to values and beliefs in that they help us determine what is right and wrong and
how we as individuals should have.
Safety is a positive value – safety practices prevent injuries, save lives, and
improve productivity and outcomes. The purpose of a strong safety culture is to have
administrators, faculty and staff who care deeply about safety, who have a firm
knowledge of safety, who teach safety to their students, and who promote safety
through their leadership. An effective culture is necessary, not only to protect
employees and students, but also to protect the business integrity and institutional
reputation.
Safety in the workplace is all about recognizing the possible chaos, risk and
preventing it to become big. Safety in the workplace is a necessity in a big or small
structure because it plays a vital role in the environment especially from those people
who have anxiety disorders, etc. According to the latest survey, 67% of individuals
suffer from stress. As a citizen and employee, we must perform our actions right and
gradually vanish every problems and stress that we might cause. For being safely
secured in the place prevents harm and danger to every living thing around you. When
communicating, carefully choose the words that pop out in your mind. Think about
these questions first, “will it hurt his/her feelings?”, “is it offensive?”, “will it give her
benefits?”, etc. In this way, it well helps you build a stronger communication not just in
the office but to the society.
In addition, safety in the workplace dies not only talk about how we compose
ourselves with others. We must also know the safety measures and instructions when
accident will happen. As an employer, it is your responsibility to maintain a safe and
healthy workplace. A safety and healthy management system, or safety program, can
help you focus to your efforts at improving your work environment. Whatever you call
it, your plan describes what the people in your organization do to prevent injuries and
illnesses at your workplace.
Moreover, for us to lessen chaos and danger let us first build our own unique
system, reflects our actions, know the hazards and how we manage safely in our
surroundings and be a responsible worker.
Before entering into the real world such as being involved in the office works
and be a responsible employee, we must first open our eyes to the rights and
responsibilities as a worker. Simply having and developing comprehensions and
understanding those concepts increases your ability and skills for it affects your moral
ethics. They are not just simple instructions that should strictly be followed just
because it is needed but it is for the own well of both the employee and to his client.
Hence, it is the road to the good relationship built between the company and his
people.
Workers have a right to be consulted in the workplace when decisions are made
regarding their health and safety. Workers also have a right to be represented for their
views on any health and safety issues in the workplace. As a worker, you are
responsible for understanding the conditions of your employment. This includes
knowing your rate pay, working hours and entitlements to break and leave working in
a way that is not harmful to the health and safety of yourself or others knowing what
to do if you think your employer is not meeting their responsibilities. Workers should
know their limitations and rights. They must be patient in dealing with their costumers
and treat them as their superior because they are their living keys in unlocking the
doors for the road to success.
Make sure you understand the conditions of your employment. This includes
your rate pay, working hours, and your entitlements for breaks, leave and public
holidays. You should know your rights in regards to discrimination and bullying, and
now what to do if your experience or witness this in your workplace. You also need to
know the health and safety requirements of your workplace and know how to maintain
a safe environment for yourself and others. You also need to have access to all the
appropriate safety gear and equipment and know what to do in the event of an
accident. Lastly, know where to get help on workplace health and safety issues
relevant to your state of territory.
The MOA is legally binding document that binds both the partner institutions in
the local government agencies and the schools with their agreed terms and conditions,
in order to successfully operate the program. It is also characterized by the safety and
guidelines of the work immersion that needs to agree to: The MOA states that the
DepEd shall not be liable for the opportunity loses of the NGO during the duration and
after the termination of this agreement. This would mean that DepEd and its
stakeholders are not part if there will be losing of chances of these Non-Government
organizations.
Therefore, the students engaging in the work immersion must further realize
that their work should be voluntary and that they should not expect anything as
exchange for what they have done. For instance, getting wage after the on the job
training is not stated in the Memorandum of Agreement. Rather, it was stated there
that the Nongovernment Organization is not obliged to pay wage or salary since there
is no employer-employee relationship exist between them. However, the NGO is not
prevented to give any amount as help for the students in terms of transportation fee,
for allowance and others.
