Humanity over professionalism

We spend so much time at work and thinking about worklife that these days our worklife define our life. Habits, values and principles that apply to work seem to take precedence over those of personal life. One thing that is valued at work is "professionalism". Professionalism is very important value that we look up to at work. However should professionalism transcend humanity? Should professionalism transcend genuine goodness of heart? I don't think so. I think humanity transcends all human values (or most of them). Compassion and consideration should be more important than professionalism, even at work.

Oh! I would like to add that I value professionlism very highly and consider it very important quality that one should practise and develop.
