Punctuality is a wonderful trait of a person, one to be admired and respected. Punctuality displays a person’s respect for people and time. In a scheduled appointment, 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. This is exactly why candidates are never late at a job interview!
Punctuality is more
important at the workplace because it is here that you get paid for
the hours you put in. While it may be appropriate for you to be
fashionably late for a social event, it won’t be appreciated by the
business where time is considered to be money in today's growing
economy. Many people work from home these days, to them punctuality
means being available online during office hours, logging in into
meetings punctually, and meeting project deadlines.
Below are some reasons
why you should be punctual:
1. Respect: Punctuality
speaks of a person’s respect of others. In giving respect to others
we can earn in turn.
2. Credibility: An
employee who is punctual is considered as credible in the eyes of
his/her employer.
3. Organised: A
punctual person usually organises his/her work well, thinks ahead of
time, prioritizes the given tasks and is overall successful.
4. Networking: Much of
the networking in a company happens just before a meeting when the
board members are waiting for everybody to gather. Being early can
give you a chance to talk to the company leaders and create a network
of alliances for you.
5. Ready: Being a
couple of minutes early to a meeting or work, gives you time to
relax, collect your thoughts and prioritize your day’s activities.
This will help you sail through the day with no major glitches.
6. Productivity: 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.
