Workplace Professionalism & Youth – Another Good Post

Joyce Gioia-Herman, a Strategic Business Futurist concentrating on workforce and workplace trends, is President and CEO of The Herman Group. She wrote a blog post titled "Teaching Professionalism" about the behaviors that HR professionals consider as demonstrating "professionalism" in the workplace.

Ms. Gioia-Herman notes:

HR pros and business leaders polled identified five primary characteristics of professionalism: 1) personal interaction skills, including courtesy and respect, 2) skills to communicate, and listen, 3) a great work ethic; 4) being motivated and staying on task until the job is completed, and 5) professional appearance, and self-confidence and awareness.
