My top ten work and personal values:
1. Respect
2. Honesty
3. Integrity
4. Loyalty
5. Achievement
6. Individual worth
7. Family Relationships
8. Spiritual development
9. Friendships
10. Security
I have chosen these values because I feel that help make me a better person. When working among other colleagues I have noticed that when someone has set values, they tend to be more enjoyable to be around. I feel that having strong values gives you a better foundation. Having a strong foundation makes you a better employee; more confident individual and you are in turn able to handle more responsibility.
In choosing a career path, I feel that my values #1-6 set a standard for the type of life I desire to live. I feel that my job is important, however it is not what makes me the person I strive to be. I also feel that values #7-9 help contribute to that balance that is so necessary; my family, my religion and my career all influence that. When you are well balanced and have a strong value system in place, you have more strength, confidence and happiness in the workplace.
I have found that when I do not uphold my values, my work ethic suffers along with many other relationships I perceive as important. My values have not necessarily changed but more so have been established through life experiences. That may continue, as I get older and more experienced in life. I may add values such as time with family or financial security as I have children, where currently those aren’t as important at this time in my life.
