Tips to succeed in Work
Tricks to Get Things Done Faster, Better, and More Easily
1. Understanding your employers expectations
Make sure you understand your companys culture. Your cultural fit with the organisation and your working relationship with your supervisor/manager are very important. Make sure you are familiar with the values of the company so that you can demonstrate them effectively.
2. Staying positive
Whether things are going well or badly, always maintain a balanced viewpoint and resist the urge to complain to co workers about your boss or your job. Your complaints could work their way up to those higher in the organisation. Instead, find the right channels to suggest improvements.
3. Being a team player
Those willing to set aside their personal goals for the overall goals of the department or company are valued by organisations. Team players get noticed and often advance faster than those with a more self centered approach.
4. Willingness to take on extra duties
Whether its overseeing a major new project or filing folders, always volunteer for extra responsibilities. This may be a given, but people who excel in their workplace often go above and beyond of what theyre asked to do.
5. Not gossiping
Stay focused on the positive and refrain from sharing personal or company information with your co workers. Be especially conscious of this when attending company parties or outings where alcohol is served.
6. Good manners in the office
Whether or not youre actually in a cubicle, respect shared office space by keeping voice volume low on the phone and in person. Whenever you can, go to co workers to speak to them. Use this as an opportunity to develop closer working relationships.
7. Not discussing your personal life
Keep personal calls and emails to a minimum. Leave errands for lunchtime or when youre away from work. Dont share intimate details of your social life over the water cooler or in the office kitchen!
8. Personal business on work technology
Most companies monitor employee usage of technology, so you should skip the personal emails and text messages. Also, bear in mind that venting feelings about your workplace or boss on social media could be read by anyone.
9. Arriving on time
Most employers are prepared to be flexible and each environment has its own rules on timekeeping. Find out what they are and stick to them! You want to send the message that youre dependable and willing to go the extra mile to meet company goals.
10. Meeting deadlines
Keep your word. Always meet deadlines; if you miss a deadline, it may have a knock on effect throughout your company. Talk to your boss far ahead of a deadline if you believe that you wont be able to complete an assigned task on time.Finally, when you go to your boss with a problem, go with at least one suggestion in mind for a solution. Even if your boss doesnt take your suggestion, you will look like a problem solver, not a complainer.
