Tell me, are you happy with your current situation?Are you satisfied with your job, position, salary? Would you like to leave everything the same until retirement? Some of you will answer: "Yes, I am quite satisfied with everything!" And someone will say: "No, I would like to be more appreciated and to be able to count on a salary increase!" For some reason, it seems to us that the latter would be much more numerous than those who are satisfied with everything. But is it possible to change anything? Does anything depend on us? Yes, it does. You just need to become a very good employee, and then the management will value you. To make it clear what we are talking about, let's first look at the qualities of a good employee.

What qualities are inherent in a good employee?

Being a good worker is not that easy,Becoming an ideal employee is even more difficult. But these are the employees that any employer values. Want to know what you should work on? There are five most important qualities that distinguish a good employee: Respect Respect for those with whom you work every day. Respect is shown in many ways. We will give just a few examples:

• Respect for colleagues, as for people with uniqueideas and thoughts that may differ from your own. Such a variety of ideas may seem a bit chaotic at first glance, but it helps to find the best solution. Such group thinking usually gives an interesting solution much faster.
• Respect for colleagues, manifested in the greetingthem at the beginning of the working day. How often do we have to face the fact that someone passes in the morning past us, without gloating! Spend a few seconds to say hello to a colleague, smile at him, even if you have a difficult day. So you will deserve the reputation of a person with whom it is pleasant to work. And this at some point can give you additional benefits and opportunities. In addition, smiling to others, you can improve your mood and become more productive during the working day.
• Respect for someone else's work. Ability to appreciate the time and effort of employees. You can let them know that you do not agree with the end result of their work, but at the same time respect their efforts to implement the project.
• Respect for others can be expressed by practicing the "golden rule". This rule says: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Knowledge is the key quality that one hasthe best employees. Modern technologies are constantly changing. So are the demands placed on employees. The only way to avoid being left behind is to constantly gain and deepen your knowledge. It is worth spending your time to learn not only what may be useful in your job today, but also what may be needed tomorrow. It is this knowledge that will make you a valuable employee. You will be in a better position to get a promotion. You must be responsible for your knowledge. Do not wait for your employer to send you to refresher courses; you must look for ways to gain this knowledge yourself. Remember - as soon as you gain additional knowledge, you get a real chance to move up the career ladder! Motivation A very valuable quality is the ability to motivate not only yourself, but others as well. The ability to take responsibility for your words is also highly valued. If something is said - do not back down from your words. Do not get tired of praising others - the more you do this, the more you will break down barriers and motivate others in the workplace. Decision-making skills You need to be able to approach any problem from a creative point of view – not to make the problem worse, but to solve it. Take some responsibility – to become part of the solution, not part of the problem. Ask yourself these questions:

• What lesson can be learned from this problem?
• What solution can I offer?
• How will I present my solution so that the benefits are most obvious?

If you go to your boss with a problem,suggest at least one solution. Even if your solution is not accepted, you will look like an employee who can solve problems, and not like a complainer. A person who can take the initiative in a problematic situation, without aggravating it, but offering a specific solution, stands out from other employees. Ability to find contact Completely different people work in one team. The ability to find a common language with any member of the team, the ability to listen and hear people, the ability to prevent or extinguish possible conflicts are also considered qualities of a good employee.

How to become an indispensable worker

We've sorted out the basic qualities.What exactly should you do to make the best employee's characteristics belong to you? Perhaps you have been working for a long time, love your job and want your management to notice this and appreciate you properly. Or maybe you are only at the very beginning of your work biography, and you really want to start your activity with dignity, without annoying mistakes. In any case, our detailed description of the necessary actions will help you achieve success:

The work should be like. Moreover, you should like not only what you do, but also work in the team, company, institution, motto and the general atmosphere of which coincides with your internal attitudes. It's difficult to feel comfortable with people who, in principle, can not become like-minded people.

Behave like a serious professional. This is work, not a playground. There is a big difference between a man who works fun, and a man who is constantly fooling around. Having fun means that you are a good, easy-going person who does not stint a smile. But at the same time, you take your duties very seriously and do not waste your and other working time on inappropriate jokes or telling and listening to anecdotes.

Learn to take a constructivecriticism. It gives you to understand what exactly people expect from you and your work, helps you to see your weaknesses and shortcomings, which you need to work on first. It happens that instead of correct criticism you can hear in your address an evil rebuke and even shouting. Do not argue or argue. Wait until the colleague cools. And then calmly say that you would like to solve the problem and would like to discuss what you need to change. Do not forget that the best employees are not the ones who never make mistakes, but those who are able to correct mistakes without inciting conflicts.

Learn to do your job, and performqualitatively. Whether your work is black and tedious, or interesting and well paid - if you take it, then do it properly. If you do not know how to do something, then go and find out, and do not make excuses why you did not do it.

Build a good relationship with not onlydirect colleagues, but also with watchmen, a secretary, workers, a cleaner ... Each of them is a specialist in his business, and showing respect to them will only improve your reputation as a charming, sociable employee.

As soon as it becomes possible to receivesome new skills, get training on other activities. This will help you become more competitive in your career. New skills and in-depth education will show that you are smart and focused on continuous improvement - that's what all the best employees are like. And if suddenly the question arises of the reduction of staff, the workplace will for sure leave behind the employee with universal knowledge and skills, than for one that can perform only one function.

Your "working history" should be clean. It's like a credit history - if you did not violate the schedule of payments, then the next time the bank without delay will provide you with a loan for a much higher amount. So it is here. If someone is firstly dismissed during the reduction, then it is usually those employees who are often late, constantly absent from the workplace, get reprimanded for unprofessional behavior or have the most complaints from clients. And the best employees always keep their jobs.

Always come to work before the duetime. At least fifteen minutes earlier. If you take this as a rule, you will arrive on time even when something detains you - you will have a supply of fifteen minutes. In addition, when you come to work earlier, you will pleasantly surprise the early clients, not forcing them to wait a second. And this, too, will add to your reputation.

Do not rush to the exit and at the end of the workingday. Hold for at least ten minutes. You can spend this time preparing your workplace for tomorrow. Remove from the table all the extra, wash and hide the empty cups, wipe the dust, prepare all the items you need from the morning. All this will help you to start your work tomorrow without delay and will show your organization.

Always be productive. Do your job on time. The best employees do not allow documents to lie on the table for several days without moving. Do everything you need and move on to the next assignment as soon as possible

Do not spend too much time on phone calls. At work, you have to work, and not talk on extraneous topics. Even if it's a conversation with a spouse or children. Try to limit yourself to really necessary calls.

Offer your help and support to juniorsemployees and beginners. Remember how hard it was for you when you were in their position. If you are not sure that they have understood everything, be prepared to ask if they do not need help. Do not do the work for them, instead of teaching them.

The best employees tend to get paid morehigh salary. Their good salary is most often due to many years of experience, the ability to do a good job, the length of time they have been with the company (newcomers are often paid less at first) and a good education. In order to become better, you have to work hard. And what exactly you need to do - now you already know! We recommend reading:
