The pandemic has had quite an effect on our workplaces. However, improving job performance gets you in the driving seat to rise up the ranks, should the opportunity arise. Put yourself in a position to allow some room for improvement – aim for the next big step. Looking ahead, here’s how to do well at your job.
Most of us want to be good employees and most of us want to excel at the work. This simply isn’t a matter of being good at what we do; it involves professionalism, attitude, teamwork, and determination.
With the onslaught of mail, texting, and everything else, it can be challenging to stay on top of your workload.
- Adopt a system prioritizing urgent items, dealing with short requests quickly, and putting fewer pressing matters on a to-do list.
- Delete junk and put less pressure on your technical skills.
- Impose some discipline on email interruptions. How do we do that? Apply restraint on some of your social media pseudo-warrior stints by visiting platforms like Facebook and Instagram twice during office hours. Thats good for the job.
It gets hard to be a bridge-builder when you’re a gossip. No matter how good an employee you think you are, getting caught in gossip will quickly downgrade your standing with your bosses. Digressing lets your focus adrift of your daily objectives, so try to counteract such things that spoil growth!
Most people find it hard to learn how to handle constructive criticism. However, learning from well-intentioned critiques can improve job performance by big, BIG margins. Aim to incorporate the constructive criticism that you’ve received from your boss, into how you perform your job. Pay attention to the less-than-positive portions of your work assessments. Simply put: adjust to a roadmap that inspires motivation and drives success in your favor!
