Why is this training important?

Business benefits

When you think of the word “professionalism”, what comes to mind? Traditionally, “professionalism” was largely focused on image. A professional was expected to leave their private life at home and physically turn up, looking and acting the part of a professional.

Today, the image of professionalism is less clear. Many organisations are happy for colleagues to wear smart casual clothes, wear their hair any way they like, sport a beard, have visible piercings and tattoos, and wear comfortable shoes. Many organisations have a relaxed attitude, creating an atmosphere where people can be their authentic selves without having to leave their personality and self-expression at the office door, and some people work either partly or entirely from home. Many organisations also encourage colleagues to socialise by allowing some informality at work and by arranging social events.

The word “professional” comes from a Middle English word meaning to have professed one’s vows. The word became associated with skilled workers during the rise of trade guilds, where professionals were people who had professed their skills to others and vowed to perform them to the best of their abilities.

This is what professionalism is all about. It’s a vow to perform your role to the best of your ability by upholding high standards of conduct, integrity, and competence in everything you do at work.

Today, political, social, and technological developments have made the workforce more diverse, and although appearances and personal hygiene do still matter, the focus of professionalism is less about fitting a rigid pre-defined image and more about your behaviour and you as a person. Being committed to demonstrating integrity and competence doesn’t need high heels or a sharp suit. You can be you and demonstrate professionalism at the same time.
