LESSON 1 Workplace
In this lesson you will understand how workplace is important because it is the location
where you are employed and where you go to work every day. Effective workplace
recognizes that employees are an organizations greatest resource. Employees to be truly
effective, its design practices and policies must benefit both the organization and its
employees.
A Workplace- is a location where someone works for his or her employer, a place of employment.
Such a place can range from a home office to a large office building or factory
-is a place such as office or factory, where people are employed. It is also the place where one is
employed or customarily does one‘s work, one‘s office, and laboratory.

1. Place. When we think of work it‘s important to recognize that it‘s not just the place
we go, it‘s also a thing we do.
2. People. The two biggest cost centers in the most businesses are people and
property, and business need to start linking these two pieces in a more strategic and
agile way to maximize both.
3. Transport. By offering staff flexibility in working hours or work location, we can
ensure we are not only supporting the well-being of our employees, but also their
performance.
4. Technology. Tools that offer up greater mobility will continue to be catalyst for
changing the way we work, but business leaders aren‘t keeping up with the tools and
technologies we use at home.
5. Culture. Creating a more open and trusting culture, and in doing so, develop a
healthier and more engaged workforce.
Activity 1.1:
1. Describe the 21st century workplace in ten (sentences).
Working Ethically
People‘s decisions and actions each day affect how others perceive them. Can others
depend on a thoughtful process? Do they consider your decisions to be based on a
thoughtful process? Do they count on you to do the right thing? In a similar way, the
reputation of a business is impacted by the decisions and actions of its employees and
managers, and owners.
1. Utilitarianism- In this raw from might seem to uphold everyone‘s best interest, but in
CITY COLLEGE OF EL SALVADOR OACC 13: ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE PROCEDURE AND MANAGEMENT
El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental Instructor: Mary Grace G. Payla, MBM, LPT
Email: elsalvador.citycollege@gmail.com
reality it benefits a greater number of workers while compelling the rest to adapt to
CITY COLLEGE OF EL SALVADOR OACC 13: ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE PROCEDURE AND MANAGEMENT
El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental Instructor: Mary Grace G. Payla, MBM, LPT
Email: elsalvador.citycollege@gmail.com
majority rule. Since it is highly unlikely to appease everyone in any given workplace, the
utility theory serves to satisfy needs of the many over the few, and may even be constructed
as a form of Darwin‘s survival of the fittest.
3. Egoism- This gives people permission to consider only what benefits their personal
needs. This theory can create a hotbed of contempt in the workplace due to its lack of social
responsibility-being aware of the impact your actions have upon the workplace as a whole.
Ethical egoist believes that no reasoning can overrule what is otherwise the moral and
righteous actions all human beings are expected to uphold.
A lack of workplace ethics affects employee morale and motivation, if you don‘t
trust your colleagues or managers; it‘s hard to want to do a good job.
2. Stakeholder level- stakeholder level the ethical work practices extend to customers,
vendors, stockholders and the communities in which the company operates. What the
stakeholders see, the public sees- and companies seen by the general public as being
unethical can lose customer and market share. Brand name integrity builds brand name
value. Employees within the company can build positive relationships with people outside
the company by interacting with them and transacting business ethically and responsibly.
When stakeholders gain sense of trust in the company, customers keep company back.
3. Employee level- In this ethical work practices build a positive environment founded on
trust. Distrust in the workplace causes stress. You work better when you can trust that your
colleagues will work with you ethically. Your company also works better when ethical values
drive all of its work. Employees, not brick and mortar, establish a company‘s brand image.

At work, you will face many ethical choices. Some of these choices will be easy to
make. The right or wrong answer will be clear. People rely on their personal values when
making ethical decisions.
1. Honesty- Be honest. Don‘t deceive, cheat, or steal. Consider how you feel when someone
lies to you. Being honest not only means telling the truth, but also giving the relevant
information.
2. Fairness- Being fair means acting without prejudice or favoritism. Be fair in your dealings
with coworkers, customers, and supervisors. Listen to others. Don‘t blame others, and do
not take advantage of others.
3. Respect- Respect others. Respect cultural differences and diversity in the workplace. Try
to understand differences in opinions and find common ground and consensus in decision
making. Respect also means listening with an open mind to the opinions of others.
4. Responsibility- Take responsibility and be accountable for your duties and actions.
Always try to do your best. Use your manners. When you make a mistake, own up to it and
correct it.
5. Compassion- Be kind and considerate toward others. Use your manners. Show
understanding and caring for your co-workers. Try to put yourself in another person‘s
situation to understand how that person might act and feel. Avoid hurting other‘s feelings.
Activity 3.1:
Recommending a friend. There is a job opening in your office, and you have been asked to
serve on the hiring committee. An old friend of yours has applied. You know your friend
really needs a job. You also know she was let go by her last employer. You suspect that it
was because she spent too much time on the phone and e-mailing friends. You know she will
expect you to put in a good word for her if you are on the committee.
From the given scenario, answer the following questions:
3.1.a : Do you recommend her? Explain.
3.1.b: Do you share your suspicions with the committee? Explain why or why not.

process described in the ―Making Personal Ethical Choices to answer the question.
It is important to tackle the causes of stress in the workplace as stress at work can
lead to problems for the individual, working relationships and the overall working
environment. These issues may include lowered self-esteem and poor concentration skills
for the employee. The employer may suffer from increasing customer complaints, staff
turnover and days lost to sickness.

Panic Attacks
In cases of extreme or continual stress, people can suffer what is known as a panic
attack. This is a brief but extremely frightening spell of severe anxiety.
Stress Management in the workplace- is a useful skill that many don‘t take advantage of
many of us and leaders alike, get caught up in day to day task.
Whatever reason you have for not using stress management technique is a big mistake.
Stress in life today is widespread and has no boundaries. We all deal with stress daily, at
work and at home. Stress comes in all forms and can affect emotions and physical abilities.
It is rightly said ―Time and Tide wait for none‖. An individual should understand the
value of time for him to succeed in all aspects of life. People who waste time are the one‘s
who fail to create an identity of their own.
Ask yourself which activity is more important and how much time should be allocated
to the same? Know which work should be done earlier and which can be done a little later.
Time Management plays a very important role not only in organizations but also in
our personal lives
1. Effective planning
Plan your day in advance. Prepare a To Do List or a ―Task Plan ‖. Jot down the
important activities that need to be done in a single day against the time that should be
allocated to each activity. High priority work should come on top followed by those which
do not need much of your importance at the moment.
2. Setting Goals and Objectives
Working without goals and targets in an organization would be similar to a situation
where the captain of the ship loses his way in the sea. Set targets for yourself and make sure
they are realistic ones and achievable.
3. Setting Deadlines
Set deadline for yourself and strive hard to complete task ahead of the deadlines.
Use a planner to mark the important dates against the set deadlines.
4. Delegation of responsibilities
Learn to say ―NO‖ at workplace. Don‘t do everything on your own. The roles and
responsibilities must be delegated as per interest and specialization of employees for them
to finish task within deadlines.
5. Prioritizing Tasks
Prioritize the tasks as per their importance and urgency. Know the difference
between important and urgent work.
6. Spending the right time on right activity
Develop the habit of doing the right thing at the right time.
1. Organized- Avoid keeping stacks on file and heaps of paper at your work station. Throw
what all you don‘t need.
2. Don‘t misuse time- Do not kill time by loitering and heaps or gossiping around.
Concentrate on your work and finish assignments on time.
3. Be focused- One needs to be focused for effective time management.
Develop the habit of using planners, organizers, table top calendars for better time
management. Set reminders on phones or your personal computers.

Team Defined
- are group of employees who work together towards a common goal----simply put,
people who work together to get a job done.

2. Find the right team size. Some studies have indicated that larger teams are more
effective. Small teams can foster closer working relationships. For a small project, you
might only need three or four members. Larger, longer-term projects may require a dozen
or more members.
3. Pick your team members. Members should bring a diverse set of skills and
personalities to the table which compliments the project and helps the group reach its
goal.
4. Set Roles. Clearly define each person‘s position, and what he or she needs to
accomplish within the team.
5. Determine how the team will fit within the organization.
6. Establish a collaborative environment. Teamwork is built on trust. All employees
should feel comfortable asking questions, expressing their opinions and making
suggestions. Each person‘s input should be highly valued.
Give a team a time, to get to know one another and develop a relationship and styles that
works for them. It can take several weeks for members to become accustomed to their
roles within the team and to become comfortable enough to share their ideas
