  8. Trustworthiness – dependable, worthy of confidence. • Values – personal beliefs about what is desirable and worthwhile.

  9. Factors involved in self-understanding: • Self-acceptance • Self image • Values • Self-confidence • Relations with others (genuineness, trustworthiness).

  10. Techniques for being accepted by fellow employees: • Try to get along with co-workers. • Accept others’ lifestyles; respect another’s right to be different. • Avoid incorrect assumptions before all facts are known.

  11. Maintain a good appearance, because a good first impression will help one on the way to being accepted. • Develop a good attitude. One of the most important factors that determine one’s acceptance by others in any environment is attitude.

  12. Observe rules. There is usually a set of rules to be followed at the workplace, but there are also unwritten rules that workers are expected to observe.

  13. Reasons for employees losing their jobs: • Inability to get along with others • Poor attendance or lateness for work • Abuse of break time

  14. Basic ways of getting along with people: • Think before you speak; always say less than you think. • Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully, no matter what. • Be interested in others, in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes, families.

  15. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging thing to or about somebody. • Be cheerful; keep a pleasant smile on your face. • Reserve an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but do not argue.

  16. Discourage gossip and make a rule to say nothing of another unless it is something good. • Be careful of others’ feelings. Wit and humor at the other’s expense are rarely worth the effort.

  17. Establish human relations with patients: • Learn to know, understand and relate to the patient in any situation. • Show sympathy for the patient by being eager to serve and by being of gentle touch.

  18. Realize and understand that sick people are sensitive, both emotionally and physically. Sickness causes strain, and patients are not always on their best behavior. • Remember to be kind and tolerant when patients are irritable and demanding.
