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 Positive
Be positive about your job and what you do. By coming to work engaged and ready to support the team a person with a positive outlook can help add value to the team by bringing an energy that can be felt by those around them. This is a skill/value that can’t be taught or forced. However, when someone is naturally positive about what they do it can be a great way to add value and inspire positivity in others.
Work out what makes you positive and what you personally enjoy in your job and focus on / utilize this as a way of making you more positive and happier so that you can have some natural positivity surround you.
