Our fathers and grandfathers went to work for companies that were looking for loyalty and dedication. Today's workers will have an average of 6 -7 careers in their lifetime.

Individuals must add value to the organization and the organization must add value to the individual. 3.

Internal commitment to showing honesty, trust and respect finds itself at the cornerstone of classic professionalism. Engaging in a relaxed creative and open organizational environment is only possible when professional communication is not only required but expected from all parties. |
