BE-A-GOOD
EMPLOYEE…
Here are tips to
be more successful in the work place.
1)Behave professionally
People talk, and
workers know the difference between a person who is fun to work with and a
person who is always fooling around. Fun means a good personality, a joke or
two, and a smile.
2) Learn how to take criticism gracefully.
It will provide you with valuable ideas about what people
expect from you, any weak areas, and what you need to work on first.
3)Learn to do your job, and do it well.
Whether it's menial and tedious, or tough and high-paying,
learn how to do the job, regardless of how difficult you think it might be. If you don't know how
to do something, go find out; don't make excuses for why you didn't do it
4)When you get the opportunity to learn a new skill, receive
training for a different activity, or take a study course paid for by your
employer--do it!
5)Maintain a clean job performance record.
6)Be on time.
Always arrive early. Be at least 15 minutes early every day. If your client is early, you will
be there to greet him or her, and not leave someone waiting for you - even if
you arrive on time.
7)Ask your supervisor what the expectations for outcome are.
This will immediately make you stand out from 95% of the
other employees. Mean what you ask and follow through on your promises.
8)Be part of the solutions.
When
you go to the boss with a problem, go with at least one suggestion in mind for
a solution. Even if the boss doesn't take your suggestion, you will look like a
problem-solver, not a complainer. Your boss has their own private lives to
leave at the door, so do you. If you keep piling on the emotional baggage, then
your boss may see that you can't balance your personal life from your work
life. They will not approach you when they want to ask employees about perhaps
open door advice when it comes to work related group efforts.
9)Always
be productive.
10)Don't
spend a lot of time on personal phone calls.
Work is for work. Keep cell phones in your locker and limit
personal calls on work phones to emergencies.
11)Offer
junior employees guidance and encouragement.
Be a mentor. If you are not sure someone
understood something, be willing to ask if they need assistance. Don't do the
work for them, teach them instead. Be careful what you say to new employees;
don't air your grievances, frustrations, or interpersonal conflicts.
