The staff I admire

Employment is a two way street.

Staff expect the employers to treat them equitably, and fairly. Employers also expect staff to observe a certain code of ethics.

I have written herein, a list of qualities I would expect in my staff, and traits that I admire.  The qualities below are listed in no order of priority.

1)      I admire people with good communication skills. We are in the service industry. It is important that our staff members speak and write well.

2)      I admire people with Integrity. Information and data provided should be accurate and truthful at all times.

3)      I admire staff who take care of themselves well. Our beneficiaries look up to us as mentors, teachers, and counselors. We must constantly present a healthy and positive image so as to inspire, and lead by example.

4)      I admire polite, gentle people. We are in the helping profession. It is important that we are always ready to serve. Be always polite, considerate and kind. Observe harmony and resolve conflict quickly through dialogue and understanding each other.
