Be in time at office is a wonderful trait of a person, one to be admired and respected.
Punctuality displays a person’s respect for people and time, the late-comer usually gives an impression that he/she doesn’t value the other person’s time or considers his/her time more important than that of the other.
Punctuality is more important at the workplace because it is here that you get paid for the hours you put in and Employees are expected to be punctual and dependable in order to meet the needs of their department and the colleagues.
To earn and maintain the respect you wish to have at the workplace you cannot wayside this wonderful human virtue. Below are some reasons why we should be punctual:
Admiration
Punctuality speaks of a person’s respect of others. In giving respect to others we can earn in turn.
Deadlines
An employee who isn’t stressed about reaching late or has come in early enough to give him minutes to settle in before the day’s work begins, has got better chances to get more accomplished than a late comer who feels more pressurized. Being construction professionals, we all have daily, weekly and monthly deadlines and without professional punctuality, only we have to striving to meet deadlines.
Team-Centered Goals
We all have team-centered work goals – and punctuality demonstrates our respect for co-workers and clients and reinforces our time-management skills. If we want our seniors and colleagues to see us as a responsible team-centered people, then we need be punctual first. As often , it has observed our late can affects the desired goals achievement of team.
Believability
It might not seem like our job security is based on punctuality, but it certainly doesn't hurt, especially in a struggling economy. Punctuality demonstrates our willingness to get ready early, plan and make every effort to complete your work on time.
Professionalism
Punctuality is a sign of professionalism and helps us stand out as a reliable and trustworthy employee. If we don't get our part of a project completed on time, we keep others from being able to finish their tasks. Being punctual helps us establish our reputation as a dependable and consistent worker. In an interdependent work environment, everything runs like a well-oiled piece of machinery. Being on time helps ensure that you're doing your best to keep things running smoothly.
Let us make a habit to be Punctual at our workplace.

5 年Not agreed fully .Punctuality & time management is 19th or early 20th century concept , where time keeper was a post in factory and sites , whose role is to keep records of time (IN) and (OUT) so that every one should be punctual . But concept of management is now a days changed completely from Time Based sitting at office then Task based output measurement with individuals treated as cost centered and KPI/KRA fixed as per his/her productivity . If a person is punctual 100 % & his productivity and QHSE is not up-to mark then he is of no use . So HR concept is now a days changed from Time Centered to Cost -Task -Productivity Centered approached . What I have written is as per Progressive Company with MNC work culture ...............

6 年A wonderful piece of write-up. Just to add few more points... Punctuality doesn't mean that one attends the place of action well before time and takes a good nap within the scheduled hours of work. Punctuality doesn't mean that one is present in the seat of work to only talk to relatives and friends for long or make a gas booking over the office phone. Punctuality is inevitably important and carries it's own weightage but it doesn't work when one has a health issue and is still compelled to maintain the time for need of a stability in job and continue work in the organisation for the presence of few known figures.

6 年ONE WILL HAVE ALL CHARACTERISTICS BUNDLED WITH PUNCTUALITY--- THIS WILL BECOME REALITY ONLY WHEN ONE HAS CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF IMPORTANCE OF WHAT HE HAS TO DELIVER FOR THE COMPANY AT HIS WORK PLACE.
