work behavior, leading them to produce high quality work consistently.

Dependability, Punctuality, and Reliability – A reliable employee is punctual, follows
through on his/her tasks and shows up ready to work. Employees with a good work ethic

Respectfulness – Employees should have a respectful attitude when interacting with the
public as well as co-workers. Employees should treat everyone politely and
