Hello All,
This would be a little long so please manage.
One of the employees asked me what is professionalism? He asked me because one of the colleagues (can be a senior as well as he did not tell me) told him that he cannot survive in any industry with the kind of attitude he has & he's not professional. [ FYI this person is very quite kind of person, somewhat reserved, hard working but not that smart working. ]
So now I had to answer him, what I told him that a professional would be somebody whose completely responsible for his work, hard working, smart working, knows how to get his work done. In all that person is answerable for his work along with getting along with the work environment, fellows etc. I told him that you should not listen to others unless you actually feel that you lack here & else you can take feedback from honest people or your seniors etc.
He said ok & left. Now what bother's me is was my way of approaching to the problem good enough for any employee, was my definition any where near even. I thought about it later & came to a conclusion that if I did not knew exactly what Professional is I should not have replied to him right away & could have answered later.
I want to know from all the experienced lot that how they would have tackled this as actually speaking I am a novice for this profile & have no one immediate to guide me. I would like to grow in HR but with right guidance. Also, I wish to know what "Being Professional" actually is. How can somebody say "Oh ya! That guy's a complete professional".
Please let me know an honest feedback. I am really a Employee retaining king of HR. Would always want to retain my employees & then look for new.
