Valuable employees are the type every employer wants. Establishing a reputation as a valued employee not only makes you important to your current employer, but makes you valuable as a potential employee.
What does it take to be a valuable employee? Here are five tips that will help you become one.
1. Have Integrity
People with integrity are honest and forthright. They mean what they say and do what they say they will.
Integrity ranges from the most basic qualities, like telling the truth and never taking something that belongs to someone else, to the way you conduct your life overall.
2. Be a Team Player
It is important to be able to work well with people of all backgrounds and to collaborate with your co-workers. It is also important to share knowledge and past experiences.
People who are not team players are too focused on themselves and their individual contributions, not on the team. They may be difficult or impede productivity.
3. Be Reliable
Reliable employees show up for work on time, every day. They always get the job done and can be relied on to bring any questions or concerns to their supervisors. They will always help coworkers.
4. Take Initiative
Most employers highly appreciate employees who take initiative. If they know a more productive method of doing a task, they do it that way – and share their method. If they see a task that needs doing, they do it. Generally speaking, employers appreciate workers who take ownership of their jobs, rather than waiting to be told to do something. They are more valuable.
5. Thank ahead
Good employees think ahead and are eager to know what promotional paths are available to them. They will be interested in what their company will be doing next, or what their supervisor’s largest challenge is. These factors make them more valuable employees.
