1.3. The importance of punctuality in working life

 - Professionalism and reliability. Punctuality is one of the main signs of professionalism. By completing tasks on time and attending meetings, we demonstrate our reliability and responsibility. Employers value punctual employees because they tend to be more organised and able to manage their time efficiently.
- Reputation building. Punctual people often have a better reputation among colleagues and managers. This can help them move up the career ladder more quickly, as trust and showing respect for others' time are important professional skills.
- Efficiency and productivity. Starting and finishing tasks on time increases our efficiency and productivity. This allows us to better plan our working time and reduce the stress levels associated with rushing or being late.
