YOUR INQUIRING COLUMN
This month, your Inquiring Column turned the tables and asked a group
of supervisors, "What qualities do you look for in an qmployee?" The
answers were:
Leroy Calhoun,
KnittingDepartment
foreman of Plant #4;
"Qualities I look for
in an employee are
reliability, depend-
ability, coopera
tiveness, truthful
ness and honesty.
He should be a person of good character
and one who will take pride in his job in
orderto get the best quality of work pos
sible for his company."
Dave Frazier,
KnittingDepartment
foreman of Plant #7:
"First of all, I would
like to know that he
is reliable. An em
ployee should al-
ways have confi
dence in himself as
well as in his employer. His ability to
get along with others is very important.
He should always be willing to learn and
to apply new ideas. He should also be
ambitious and honest. "
Sam Dale, fore
man of the Greige
Goods Department
of Plant #1: "En
thusiasm, depend
ability and pride in
seeing a job well
done. He should be
willing at all times
to cooperate with his foreman and his
fellow workers. He should also keep a
clean, orderly work place and display
the right attitude at all times--show a
sense of appreciation when offered help
ful criticism. "
J
GeorgeF razier,
B oar ding Depart
ment foreman of
Plant #1: "I look for
an employee who is
willing to cooper
ate, someone who is
willing to try to do
the things he has
been instructed to do. Also, I think an
employee should show as much consid
eration for his supervisor as he expects
from his supervisor."
Bob Duggins,
Tabulating Depart-
ment supervisor:
"I believe that if an
employee will apply
the Golden Rule, he
will have all of the
desirable qualities.
In addition to prac
ticing the Golden Rule, I think an em
ployee should never be satisfied that the
present method of doing a thing cannot
be improved. "
Elmer Hoover,
KnittingDepartment
foreman of Plant # 1:
"Neatness in ap
pearance, honesty,
safety -conscious
ness and the ability
to get along with fel
low employees. He
should be able to follow instructions and
apply himself each day on the job
order that he might obtain a thoroug
knowledge of his job. Also, he should
not resent being approached about hiS
work. "
