Making Yourself Indispensable At Work

Scared of losing your job? Are you living in constant fear of being unemployed owing to the current economic crisis and the ensuing downsizing? Then you are among the millions of employees worldwide, who are living under this continuous threat and wish they could somehow make sure that they were truly indispensable for the company. While it is true that no one is completely indispensable, there are certain things that you can do to make yourself a valuable employee so that the company managers have to think twice before letting you go.  Here are some tips that you can incorporate in your daily routine to lessen the chances of you getting fired in the next downsizing:
Take more initiative
The most important thing in a workplace is taking initiative, not only because of the downsizing, but also because of the constantly changing job conditions. Nobody appreciates an employee who sits around waiting to be told what to do next and then accomplishes only the given task. Be active and take every opportunity that comes your way.
Work hard
When you are being paid to do something, you are supposed to give it your maximum effort. In order to become indispensable you must make sure that you are doing your work well and are meeting the required standards. Not only that, to prove to your employers that you are a worthy asset; you have to excel in your work and go beyond the expected standards. Moreover, if you do not know how to do something, instead of making it an excuse, go and find out how to go about that specific task and finish it efficiently.
Take responsibility
In order to become an asset for your company you will have to go beyond your job description and start viewing your department as a company, and yourself as the sole owner of the company. You must consider the pros and cons of every decision you make. At the end of the day, you must think of ways to improve the output of your department in order to impress the superiors with your productivity.
Positive attitude
Whatever happens, try to stay calm and focused. Maintaining a positive attitude in workplace is essential in proving your worth. An employee, who gets panicked easily and starts messing things up, is not an indispensable asset. If you can accomplish your tasks on a rough day with a smile on your face, you will definitely get noticed by your superiors and will certainly make a good impression.
Be a team player
Make sure that you are a valuable team player by always supporting your superiors and your entire team. Moreover, you have should remain careful and steer clear of petty politics and other unprofessional stuff that can retard the pace of work and harm the ongoing projects. Choose to be an integral part of any team and be responsible for the work allotted to you. Work in such a manner that your team and your managers start depending on you and start considering you indispensable.
Avoid politics
No matter which company you work for, office politics will follow you and getting involved means getting into trouble. So, the best option is to avoid taking sides whenever such a situation arises in the workplace.  You never know what the consequences of such actions might be. Just be neutral and try to get along well with everyone. Moreover, do not indulge in gossip under any circumstances and distance yourself from such conversations regarding rumors about the company. It is important that you have a clean reputation and are not regarded as a tale-bearer in the eyes of your superiors. Remember, no one wants to have a gossiping employee or a team mate, who can’t keep things confidential.
Improve your skills
In order to make yourself indispensable in the eyes of your managers, you should focus on the specific skills that you possess. While it is important that you possess a specialized skill, what is more important is how effectively you utilize this skill. Make sure that you let your superiors know that you are willing and available to help whenever your expertise is needed. This will make you a valuable resource, and an indispensable person within the organization.
Improve your visibility
While it is vital that you do your work with honesty and dedication, it is more important that you make people aware of your achievements and expertise without being ostentatious. Keep your superiors apprised of your efforts and hard work in terms of benefiting the company.
Be prepared to volunteer
Make sure that whenever you get the chance, you volunteer to do extra work in order to save your employer money and time. Nothing is more crucial for the managers than saving time and money. By volunteering to do extra projects, you can impress more people in the office with your capabilities and talent.
Be flexible
Make sure that you can be flexible enough to adapt changes smoothly.  Due to the ongoing economic crisis many companies are constantly making integral changes in their organization to save resources and be more productive. If you cannot go with the changes and do your best to ensure a smooth transition, sooner or later your superiors will start considering you a burden for the team and you will be replaced.
Be cost effective
Nowadays cutting costs has become a major concern for most organizations, which means that as a valuable employee you should concentrate on finding ways to help lower the cost in your company. Make a note of the cost savings you have achieved and make sure to keep the management informed about your efforts in this regards.
Manage your time
Make sure that you get to work on time and don’t be the first one to rush out the door as soon as your time ends. This is the way your employers and managers assess your dedication and commitment to your job. Any company will value an employee who shows up for work punctually and exhibits concern over his job. Moreover, keep in mind that your employers will also know if you are just wasting time by sitting idle at your work station, only to spend extra time in office to impress the boss. So whatever you do, make sure that your work output is in balance with the time you spend at the office.

Get More Done Every Day With Effective Time Management

Do you often feel like you have too much work on your hands and are regularly exhausted at work?Your co-workers have the same amount of work as you, but they seem to fly through it while you have to push your limits just to make the deadlines. However, this does not necessarily mean that you are bad at your job or that you are less talented than your colleagues. If, most of the time, you fail to meet your deadlines and are unable to perform your everyday duties within the time then you are basically having problems in managing your time properly. Time management is the key to success in your professional and personal life.
Tips for effective time management
The better you are at managing your time, the more your output increases. Here are a few simple tips that will help you in managing your time more effectively.
Be Organized
Being organized is of prime importance in managing time properly. In this regard, proper file management and maintenance is of essence. Make sure that all your files are properly labeled and stored in whatever order that suits you best. If you have to spend 5 to 10 minutes looking for the right files every time you need them, you are obviously going to fall behind your schedule.  It is always better to keep and maintain your files in the computer as they are easy to access and edit.
Develop your pace
Everyone has a different pace and momentum that works for them. It is always better to work at your natural pace and try to organize your schedule around it so that you can perform all your daily chores without feeling exhausted.
Be prepared
Always be prepared to take notes and record important observations that might help you with your work later on. It might happen that you think of something that can be vital for your work, but you cannot note it down only because you do not have a pen and pad with you. There is a high probability that you might not remember that point later on and waste a lot of time trying to remember what it was.
Set your priorities
You have to be able to organize your tasks in the order of their priority. You cannot take care of all the tasks at the same time, and not all the jobs at hand need to be taken care of at once. It is better to organize the tasks in the order of their priority and then get to them one by one. However, try to make sure that you finish all your daily tasks before the day ends; otherwise, the incomplete work will pile on to the next day and further upset your daily schedule.
Stick to the timetable
Develop a timetable that works for you, and make sure that you stick to the timetable as much as possible. Avoid making room for additional chores since that will only add to your workload and you will end up accomplishing far less than what you had originally hoped for. Also, remember to update the timetable at the end of the day in order to cater to the workload of the next day. If you leave it to the next day, a lot of time will be wasted and will decrease your efficiency.
Avoid interruptions
Constant interruptions delay your work more than anything. Whenever the phone rings, an email arrives or a colleague comes over to talk to you, your concentration breaks and your work suffers.  When you get distracted, it is very hard to pick up the pace from where you left it. So, when you start working, make sure that there are minimum interruptions around you. Put off the email alert so that you are not disturbed whenever an email comes in, and let your colleagues know that you are working on an important project and would appreciate minimum distractions. This way you can work at your maximum potential without seeming rude to your co-workers.
Delegate your work
It is important to understand that you cannot take care of all the work by yourself, no matter how talented or efficient you are. You should be able to identify when you need to stop and ask someone for assistance. This not only helps in getting your work done on time but also helps in maintaining the quality of work. If you try to complete all the work yourself, you might be able to meet the deadlines but there are high chances that you might make mistakes, and ultimately, the quality of work will suffer.
Make a checklist
Make sure that you have a checklist of all the tasks that need to be taken care of by the end of the day. Keep the checklist in plain sight, and keep referring to it from time to time to monitor your progress. Again, it is helpful to compile the checklist in accordance with the level of priority of the task at hand. This way, when you start ticking the high priority tasks on the list, your stress level decreases with every task that you accomplish.
One thing at a time
While multitasking is an asset in many instances, it is not so helpful in effective time management. If you concentrate on one task at a time, you have better chances of achieving your goals.  The most time effective way is to pick a task from the check list, start working on it and move to the next task only when you have completed the first one. Remember, in a workplace, every task needs your complete attention, and sometime, even a small mistake can lead to trouble.
Time tracking
One of the most important things that matter in effective time management is keeping track of your time. Many times, you get so engrossed in your work that you lose the track of time and might spend too much time on one job, while the others suffer. Make sure that you are aware of the time you spend on one job, by allocating a specific time bracket for that task, and then try to finish it in time.
Conclusion
Hopefully, these suggestions will help you in effectively managing your time and will increase your output considerably. Remember, time is of essence, especially in the professional field, so do everything in your power to make the most of it.
