Being on time for work is a crucial part of developing your professional reputation. Nobody will think that you take your job seriously if you’re always coming into work either late or at the last minute. Showing up a few minutes early will show that you’re ready for the work day and that you can properly manage your time to be punctual. Getting to work on time also shows that you value the time of your company and that you can keep your word.

This doesn’t just apply to your arrival at work either. If you have a meeting, a lunch appointment, or anything else work-related, the same rules apply. Always arrive a little early and come prepared.
