Achieving Success at Work
Being successful
and productive at your job requires more than just participation – it demands
being proactive about your own performance. How you are doing your job is just
as important as what you are doing.
Thus, fostering continual
improvement through ongoing communication, dedication, information sharing,
assessments and rewards can help both the individuals and organisation progress
towards their goals.
Below
are some pointers to achieve success at work:
1.
Be on time: Each working environment has its rules and regulations on
timekeeping. Find out what they are and stick to them judiciously.
- Have a positive attitude: Whether things are going well or badly, always maintain
a balanced viewpoint and resist the urge to complain/badmouth to
colleagues about your boss or your job.
3.
Be a team player: Those willing to set aside their personal goals for the
overall goals of the unit/department and company are noticed and valued by the
organization.
4.
Meet 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 won't be able to complete
an assigned task on time.
5.
Willingness to take on extra duties: Whether it's overseeing a major new project or offering to
learn a new system, always volunteer for extra responsibilities.
Meanwhile,
if you're having trouble figuring out how you can improve at your desk, ask a
colleague or your manager for some honest feedback. But be prepared to hear the
truth as you cannot change a habit or behavior if you are not prepared to put
in the work.
