What is professionalism and unprofessionalism in the work place?

Professionalism means communicating effectively and appropriately and always finding a way to be productive. Employers want new workers to be responsible, ethical, and team oriented, and to possess strong communication, interpersonal, and problem solving skills. Wrap these skills up all together and you've got professionalism.

There are many types of unprofessional behavior in the workplace, which include habitual tardiness, absence, harassment or bringing personal issues to the job. These behaviors can cause disruption to the company as a whole, which means they should be dealt with as soon as possible.
