Standing out in the workplace can be challenging, especially for a larger company. Doing small, ordinary things exceptionally well, will help catch the attention of those above you.
Why you should strive to stand out:
- Dedicated employees with good work ethics help organizations operate effectively and increase their opportunities to further their careers.
- There is a better chance of receiving promotions, earning a pay increase, hearing positive feedback, and other company perks.
Some tips on how to get noticed:
- Volunteer. Volunteering for new work projects helps to grow relationships with coworkers, furthers your career by learning new skills, and shows your boss you want to take on new challenges.
- Become the Problem Solver—Excel in the workplace as the go-to employee for helping solve any problems. Rather than being the type of employee who always points out the problems, be the person who offers solutions by using your critical thinking and creativity.
- Speak up. Do not sit quietly in meetings. Let your voice be heard by contributing meaningful suggestions to the conversation
