Although employers may seek employees with technical skills, they also realize the role of good work ethics in business. Having even the sharpest technical skills cannot compensate for the lost productivity caused by poor work ethics. Although technical skills are important in the performance of a job, they are not enough to meet the needs of employers today, who realize the cost of hiring, firing and replacing employees.
