Characteristics of Co-Workers

By Stanley Anaka

My first job was with Boston Pizza Company. I worked with different kinds of people. Some are nice; some are rude and have no manners of attitude, and it makes some customers feel bad. In my point of view, there are some important characteristics a co-worker should have.
Smiling is one of the characteristics a co-worker should have. A smiling face makes someone feel welcome. A smiling face brightens the day. A smiling face makes the customers feel welcome and happy. I would say a smiling face decreases stress. With a smiling face everyone would look happy. A smiling face at the work place shows that he or she is happing seeing the guests. Smiles are a language everybody understands in the world.

When working at the work place people should not get made at each other. No matter the situation involved, people should not get mad at the work place or at each other. This is one important characteristic a co-worker chould have at a work place. If a person always gets mad at the work place or at each other, that shows the company is not organized because being mad at the work place can make the company lose customers and friendship. Customers like being treated nicely and specially so it’s really nice not to get mad at guests because it doesn’t portray a good relationship, and you might lose your customers.

To be polite is one of the characteristics a co-worker needs at the work place because being polite shows someone cares. For example, when a co-worker comes into the work place, and he sees his fellow worker he should ask him or her, “How is your day going today? I hope you are having a nice time.” Another example is if a co-worker finds out that a worker is not smiling or looking unhappy, he or she should try to ask the person, “Is there anything wrong? Can I be of help?” Doing this shows that there is love and care among the workers.

Finally, one important characteristic of a co-worker is not to be a racist. Being a racist will make the company lose many workers and customers. If a person is a racist, there will be no happiness among the workers, and customers will not be treated nicely. There will be segregation among the workers. A worker being a racist treating his co-workers and depriving them of their rights is really going to affect or lead to the downfall of the company. A racist causes division among the workers.

A co-worker should have important characteristics like smiling, being polite, should not get mad at people, and not to be a racist. Do you have these characteristics as a worker? If you don’t, I think you should start applying some of these skills at the work place because it will make the company grow faster.
