Ways to stand out at work
Here are actionable tips to help you stand out at work:
1. Add Great Value & Deep Impact
It is important that your impact is felt in your workplace to stand out your workplace. Ensure you deliver tasks in good time and within the deadline, and go the extra mile sometimes if you can. Be that staff that is reliable to complete tasks excellently well. Do not let your competence or commitment be questioned. Take responsibility and also be proactive.
2. Suggest Process Improvement Initiatives and new ideas
It’s 2022, and the mantra in most companies, is, transformation, change, automation, digitisation and Easing processes. Be that staff that initiates better ways of doing things. Companies and managers value an employee that is passionate about streamlining processes, taking away bottlenecks and increasing turnaround time. Bring your previous experience, skills and expertise to life by improving processes. Bring actual diversity into the workspace; by contributing your unique and intelligent opinions and point of view.
3. Be a Team player and Actively Participate in work
Don’t hold back, communicate at meetings, give feedback, and be open to taking feedback as well. Try to be included and involved in all office-related processes, decision-making, activities, events etc. as much as you can, as much as convenient for you and as much as your company allows or encourage. Try not to be aloof, without a significant contribution to your team or the organisation.
4. Volunteer and Be involved in projects outside of your role
It is also important you get involved in company-wide projects, tasks or events. Do Not limit yourself to being just the local champion within your team. It will increase your visibility and enhance your brand!
Organizations all across the world are growing more and more interested in community service. If someone emails you asking for volunteers, please respond if someone mentions a new corporate effort. In your email response, “This sounds amazing! kindly contact me if there is anything I can do to help. I would consider it a great privilege,”
The workforce that comes together to volunteer for a worthwhile cause or a challenging project is noticed by management.
5. Socialise, engage and be accessible.
Try not to be antisocial. Be respectful, positive-minded and Network with your colleagues across the Organisation. Go for coffee, tea, and afterwards drinks, with your colleagues and bosses. It is a cultural thing in the UK. Don’t always say ‘NO’ to social events and outings, be strategic.
