Work Ethics are values of employees based on the moral virtues of
hardwork and thoroughness some of these values are obtained through the
environment where the concerned employee grew up. For example if the employee
grew up in a family with a disciplined work and family values. It is
predictable also that when this person will be working in the future he will be
able to carry those ethical work values to his workplace.
However, not every worker has a good work ethic. There are those who
just work for money they only treat their jobs as part of their routine. Here
lies the problem for managers: How could they inculcate work ethics to their subordinates?
One effective way of inculcating work ethics is thru mentoring. A mentor
is a character model who guides another employee by sharing valuables insights
on work behavior and ethics. Mentors educate, counsel, tutor, support and encourage
their subject mentee. The mentor will teach him/her proper work ethics and
values for this will eventually help him advance in the organizational
hierarchy.
There are unlimited advantages when we Mentor our employees. Just to
name a few: It fosters loyalty to the organization, it implants a strong
impression of importance. It gives them an impression of a clear career pathing
upwards the organizational hierarchy.
It fuels their desire to work much harder for the organization. And it
creates a lasting impression to the employee that the organization where he
belongs is a caring and competent organization. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
