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.
Be Flexible
Being flexible and adaptable is a great trait/skill. It can also be a good way to add value to your employer. By being flexible you can adapt easily to new opportunities, see things from a different perspective, and use your flexibility to add value – rather than just doing the same thing day in day out, or not thinking outside the box.
Show that you can:
- adapt to changing circumstances
- take on board new ideas and concepts
- adapt and develop a role and do what is required
- rise to the challenge of dealing with the unfamiliar.
