20 Ways to Become a Good Employee for Your Business Organization
Hi All
There is no wonder
that you have imagined even at once how to be a good employee for your
organization. You may have experienced how people are appreciated at their
farewells when they are resigning. Meanwhile, some of you may be disappointed
thinking “Why I cannot be such an attractive, efficient and effective employee”
Now you are going to get the answer to your question in this article.
Tips
to be an attractive, efficient, and effective employee
#1
Adhere to company rules, regulations and norms
This is the most
important and critical factor to become a good employee for your company. If
you do not adhere to the established rules and regulations, you will be kicked
out of the organization even without caring about your experience and
qualifications.
First of all, you
should be well knowledgeable about the company rules, regulations, and norms. This
happens in the induction programs at the time of recruitment. You should always
try to adhere to them and always try not to violate them in order to become a
good employee.
#2
Goal Congruence
Goal congruence means
that both you and the company should work towards the same target of maximizing
company profits. You are indirectly contributing to the company goal.
Therefore, whatever you do as an employee of the company, should not be against
or deviate from the company goal. You should always be aligned with the company
goal as well as your actions and behaviors.
#3
Academic and Professional Qualifications
While working or before
you start your work you should gain your academic and professional
qualifications to perform in your job. You can gain professional qualifications
even while working and this will lead to your carrier progression.
#4
Understand Your Boss
As an employee, you
should be very careful in understanding your boss. Sometimes, this may take
time but you should be clever enough to understand your boss within a shorter
time period as it will help you to identify the way you should handle him and the
pattern you should report him. If you can get to the correct track easily, your
life would be very easy.
You should
communicate with your colleagues and bosses effectively to minimize any gaps
and misunderstandings. For example, when processing a payment, several parties
are involved in the final result. Procurement section, Invoice posting team,
Approval for the payment, and payment processing team. Therefore, effective
communication is essential to get the work successful. Communication gaps
always create serious problems in reporting and performance.
#6
Embrace Changes
You should always be
with a positive attitude and accept the challenge to change. Most companies
around the world change their ERP systems or other operating systems with
global technological enhancement. Resisting the decisions means being against
the goal congruence concept. The top management suggests the required changes
for the betterment of the company. Therefore, resisting such changes will never
work for a good employee.
#7
Pay Respect
You should always pay
respect to your co-workers. When you practice this, you will feel very relaxed.
You will not go into arguments with your colleagues. Therefore, conflicts will
be minimized. And you will automatically support to the creation of a peaceful
environment in your office.
#8
Think Out of the Box
You should always try
to think out of the box and always try to see the bigger picture. Therefore,
you will be able to feel most things differently, and leave you with a peaceful
and relaxed mindset. This will be really helpful in correct decision-making and
protect you from being too much emotional about certain matters in your office
#9
Focus on Work
You always have to
focus on your work which ultimately impacts your work performance. When you
properly focus on your work, you easily understand what you should do and what
not to do. You will never miss your work schedules and the due dates when you
have the proper focus on your work.
#10
Become an Expert
You should always try
to become an expert in your limited area of performance. You should read and
discuss more to get a proper understanding of your work and you should be able
to explain to anyone very clearly your scope of work. Further, you should be
able to train anyone under you to perform your duties by sharing your
knowledge.
#11
Compete with yourself
You should always
compete with yourself. And you should try to be better than yesterday. This is
very productive for yourself than competing with others being full of jealousy.
Yourself is the biggest competitor for you. Always try to enhance yourself with
knowledge and attitude. Therefore, you will have a better yourself always than
yesterday.
#12
Do the Necessary Changes
When you focus on
your work, you may see the weak points and process enhancements in the existing
system. These are plus points for you and you can discuss with your bosses about
the required changes to the existing process. It will make life easy to handle
your office work with a minimum level of stress. Read my Workplace Stress

#13
Delegation
Do not fear delegating
your duties to suitable staff. This helps you to focus on your core work and
you can only monitor your work delegated. This will save you time to engage in highly
value-added work for you and enhance your carrier path as well.
#14
Be Polite and Humble
Whatever the designation you bear, always try to be humble and polite. Try to maintain good human qualities every time possible. Never try to boast about your achievements or the physical assets you possess.
Whatever
the situation, whoever the person in front of you, always maintain your good
human qualities in you.
#15
Always Be Patient
As an employee of a
business organization, you always try to maintain your character as a good
employee. Here, you should be careful not to get into unnecessary arguments and
not to get on with people you think are difficult for you. Always prioritize your
duties and have a balanced relationship with everyone with a pleasant
personality.
#16
Maintain Hierarchy
As an employee, you
should be responsible to maintain the hierarchy every time possible. When you
need approvals for your work, you have to follow the hierarchy and should not
bypass others directly to the big boss. Always have proper communication with your
bosses and update your immediate boss on the progress of your work.
#17
Knowledge Sharing
Knowledge sharing is
one of the best human qualities that help you to be successful in your carrier.
When you share what you know, it will enhance your knowledge while you are becoming
popular that you are an expert in that area. On the other hand, being helpful
to others is also a good human quality. Therefore, always try to share your
knowledge and it will show you the path to learn new things more and more and develop yourself in many areas.
#18
Do not Keep Friends Inside the Office
This is one of the
best pieces of advice for any employee because people always try to release
their stress by discussing office matters with their close colleagues. Such
confidential discussions later become gossip in the same office sometimes even
damaging the character or goodwill of the employee. Therefore, I suggest having
a balanced relationship with everyone in the office without getting closer to
one or a few in a click. Especially, family matters should not be discussed in the
office environment because people may use it as a weapon to attack such
employees’ goodwill. Never discuss confidential matters with anyone in the office.
On the other hand, do
not get too close to your bosses even they seem to be very nice to you. Since
they are bosses, they can or have to make decisions that may hurt you. They
discuss your weaknesses with their superiors without your knowledge. Therefore,
always try to keep at arms-length with anyone in your office, so at the end of
the day you will have a peaceful mind which gives you the strength to carry out
your personal work after work Example: your higher studies.
#19
Pleasant Personality
You should always
have a pleasant personality when you are working with your colleagues. You
always should be on alert about the environment around you and should not let
anything happen which will damage your personality. You can wear a nice smile
when you meet others and this will make you nicer to people.
#20
Training & Developments
Training and
development can be explained in both ways. Identifying your training
requirements and properly communicating such requirements to your manager and
training someone under you to perform when you are not available as your
subordinate staff. Both points are essential to become a good employee. When
your training requirements are fulfilled by the company, you will be equipped
with the required knowledge to perform your duties with no further gaps in your
performance and the expected performance by your side. On the other hand, when
you train your subordinate or your co-worker with your knowledge, it will be a
great support for the management to run the business with a well-trained staff.
Therefore, both ways are important in efficient and effective employee
performance.
As described above, I
think I have explained almost all the essential points for you to become an
attractive, efficient, and effective employee. I feel like you must have missed
at least one of the above-given points. So, guys… my suggestion is to practice
and engrave any point you have missed because that may be badly affected your
work and personal life. If your work life is well-arranged and in order, your
personal life will not be affected by your work life. You can easily put the
weight down at the office gate and step up to your home and enjoy your life
with your family. Therefore, you can eliminate any weak points by correctly
identifying the weak points in you and eliminating those from your life.
You should decide…
Good Luck.
