Strong Work Ethic Examples

Breakroom Exercise

Determine which order of importance you consider each example to be. If you have other suggestions for strong work ethics please take note of those too. One person from each team will type in the chat the order of most important to least important based on what your team decided. Don’t hit send. You’ll share the chat once your team is up to discuss why you chose that order and what your additional examples are.

The leadership team will also share what they feel are strong work ethics most important to least (and least doesn’t mean this work ethic isn’t essential, but its level of importance is below the others).

Let’s see if your answers match!
