Being on Time
When individuals consistently arrive on time, they send a clear message: they can be counted upon. This reliability is a cornerstone in both social and professional settings. At its core, it establishes an individual’s credibility.
Whether it’s for a casual meetup or a strict business deadline, punctuality is often the first indicator of dependability. If a person says they will be somewhere at a certain time and they fulfill that promise, trust begins to build.
Dressing for the job
Wearing proper work pants, shirts and boots for the job sends a message that you are ready for the job. Looking like a professional tradesman shows the client, the public and your fellow workers you take pride in your trade. A good work appearance is crucial for making a positive impression in the workplace.
Organization
Organization is the key to success. Keeping materials, equipment and tools organized will increase productivity and promote safety. A clean job is a safe job and a productive job as well. Maintaining organizing materials will prevent over ordering which reduces cost.
Teamwork
Teamwork gets everyone involved and promotes a great workplace. When workers feel they are part of a team, quality and productivity are improved.
Planning ahead
When working on a project, planning will increase productivity and will help eliminate any safety issues. Stocking the proper materials, tools and equipment can save many hours. Planning each step of the project can point out any possible safety issues and correct them before an accident can occur.
Safety
Safety is essential on every job site. Wearing proper PPE, checking equipment, and following procedures like lockout/tagout help prevent accidents. Being alert and aware of your surroundings ensures you and your crew go home safe every day.
