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.
Communicate
It is also important to continue to communicate well. Being good at communication will help you stand out. Communicating concerns or feedback is important. Communicating when others are holding back, or being the alternative viewpoint can have an important role to play.
Finally, don’t forget that communicating about what you are doing to add value generally will help show how you are adding value and of course having good communication skills is an asset in itself.
Simply put there are many ways that communication can be a great way to add value.
