This month we are doing an extra quick tips series on how to add value at work. You are not limited by your job description. By “adding value” you can help your company meet their goals as well as also advancing your own career. Adding value to your role, your team, your boss and your company should form part of your goals/objectives to help you meet your career goals. It can improve your reputation, boost your chances of promotion, and from a personal perspective increase your job satisfaction.
Throughout this series, we will be doing a round-up of different ways that you can add value and how your career journal can help you plan and take action.
Know Your Own Strengths (and make the most of them)
You will not be good at everything, so it is important to know your strengths and to make the most of them to make an impact at work.
To stand out in the workplace, you must know what your own strengths are, this will help you identify areas in the workplace that you can become known for or properly utilise to add value.
Alternatively, it can mean helping people who are not as strong as you to improve.
