BSA703-Industry Standard of Professionalism

 

Trying to research the industry standard of professionalism was very trying. Honestly, I couldn’t really find any resources that were of any actual help for me.

 

But this is what I think the Industry Standard of Professionalism is.

The Industry standard of professionalism could be broken down in a number of ways, but in short, it involves achieving high standards in all the work you do, both behind the scenes and what is actually seen.

In order to get a job or project done to a high standard there are a number of skills and behaviours people are expected to follow.

The most notable key skills are;

·         Competence

·         Integrity

·         Respect

These three skills will get almost anywhere in terms of professionalism, To me they are they most important skills in a professional environment. While other skills such as knowledge and confidence are useful, these three skills are the base mark for being professional.

Being competent means that you have the necessary skills and knowledge to complete your job or project in a professional manner. So there is no question why this skill would be a base skill or industry professionalism.

Being honest and having a strong sense of integrity is highly important when working and a professional setting. Especially if you are working on a large project that does not allow for team members to speak about their project. In some jobs team members are required by contract to not peak about their job in any capacity on social media. Having an employee that has a strong sense of integrity means that they respect their job and employers enough to know when and where to talk about their job or project.

Respect is something that all team members should have first and foremost for their job or project. All professionals have at least the most basic respect fo thir job. If a team member doesn’t have respect for where and what they are working on then there is no point in having them. These people are the ones who lack in contribution towards the project and its shows when others are having to pick up their slack.
