Most employees want to be professionals and work in a professionally managed organization. Some people think
that having a degree makes them professionals. Others think that being in a profession makes them professionals.
Being professional relates to possessing knowledge and being able to transmit that knowledge to others. It also
relates to the conduct and demeanor of individual workers and the standards guiding what they do.
An FSIS professional is someone who:
- Displays personal integrity and honesty;
- Is committed to excellence;
- Has respect for others; and
- Takes pride in public service and in protecting the public's health.
As public servants, we are held to an extremely high standard in honesty, conduct, behavior, and communicating
respectfully with others. Consequently, all of these affect our food safety practices—what we do as
professionals in carrying out our public health mission.
There are thousands of employees within FSIS, many with a diverse array of talents and skills. It is imperative
that we all work together and leverage these talents and skills for the good of the American public. How we work
together affects how well we perform our mission as a public health agency. When we all work together with integrity
and respect for others and show pride in our public service, the Food Safety and Inspection Service is most effective as a
public health regulatory agency.
