CPR

Hello everyone and welcome back to BCB. Just a reminder for everyone that registration for the summer will begin next week. Please make sure you register early to ensure that you get the classes you want. For all the graduates a reminder that graduation is next Friday April 30th at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ. All graduates must be at the Center by 8 am and commencement will start promptly at nine. This blog post is going to focus on the NYPD motto of CPR, Courtesy, Professionalism and Respect.

As most New Yorkers know that the NYPD motto that is written on every squad car is CPR. This motto should not only apply to our police officers but should apply to everyone, everywhere whether your on the job or not. One of the many things i have learned and that is constantly told at my job is that we represent the company no matter where we are, on or off the clock. Showing Courtesy, Professionalism and Respect reflects well not only on you but for the company that you work for. Many people tend to think that because they are off the clock they can act anyway they want with no consequences. Normally that is fine as long as your behavior is not something that will get you in trouble with your employer.

We see this problem in every facet of employment. The NFL is currently dealing with this issue in regards to Ben Rothelesberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although he has not been charged with any crimes he has had two cases brought against him of sexual assault. This is in violation of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy since it is a result of pattern behavior. He is facing possible suspension from the League and also a suspension or fine from the team itself and it has warned everyone that issues like this will result in being traded or cut. My job is the same way in the fact that if you do anything that can reflect negatively on the company you can and will be terminated.

Always remember to be courteous, professional and respectful in your day to day transactions, whether it is with a client or a fellow co-worker. It also benefits you if you apply CPR to your personal life as it tends to keep you out of silly situations that can be avoided. Anyway that is all for this blog i will see you guys next time.
