In her presentation, Ms. Patricia Appiah-Boateng indicated that ethics deals with standards of duty and virtue that should be exhibited at the work place. She added that ethics entails how an 鈥渉onourable鈥 person should behave. According to her, the key issues for consideration at the workplaces for increased productivity are skills, character and the system in general. She maintained that character is the fulcrum of ethics and so it is very essential to build a strong and positive character. She pointed out that there are six pillars of character which include trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, care and citizenship. In her view, ethics and professionalism go hand-in-hand. Thus, as Hall Assistants, truthfulness, open disclosure of issues and sincerity should be paramount in the discharge of duty.
Mr. Annan who presented on behalf of the Head, University Relations Office and Media, Ms. Obaapanin Adu Oforiwaa, reminded the Hall Assistants that their reception area was the first point of contact for visitors coming to the various halls of residence. Therefore, Front Desk Management plays a vital role in making a positive impression and makes the running of the office smooth.
