A professional employee should be upbeat and reliable. A cheery attitude
helps to create an environment that is enjoyable for everyone (Sundheim, 2013). Being dependable is something employees shows
by getting their job done without constant supervision; this gives managers
greater confidence in the employee (Kibilko, 2014).
An employee
with a positive outlook will be more productive than a worker with bad
attitude. A positive attitude in the workplace promotes creativity and new
ideas that would likely not happen with a negative disposition (Sundheim, 2013). At work being approachable and easy
to work with is an everyday necessity, and without these two characteristics having
a successful career would be very difficult (Kibilko, 2014).
Reliability is something that should
be learned early on in life; it is closely related to other traits, such as
honesty, integrity and work ethic. Showing up on time and being on task are
indicators of reliability. The less supervision an employee requires, the
better. An employer shouldn’t have to constantly hover over employees to make
sure they are on task and not doing non-work related things (Kibilko, 2014).
Many characteristics that make a
good employee, but being upbeat and reliable are valuable traits that can make
an employee great.
