10 Key Factors for Workplace Success

With more and more generations surpassing the qualifications benchmark set by their predecessors and the jobs market getting smaller and smaller, the competition for top end jobs has never been so high. So what does one have to consider when in the workplace. Let check it out!

1. Be more enthusiastic, and dedicated:

The more effort and enthusiasm you put into an activity the more likely you are to succeed, and this is exactly the case with employment. Although we are may not be lucky enough be doing a job we love to with unemployment figures at 1.36 million (According to UK Labour Market), it’s good to be in a job. Employers will value you more see that you’re enthusiastic about your work.

2. A good work ethic goes a long way:

If you’re prepared to do the jobs that no one else wants to do or put in the time that no one else can afford to contribute, then you’re instantly highlighting yourself as a person that has aims to go far. So why not arrive early for work to make sure that you’re prepared for the day ahead or stay back for a bit to ensure that all paperwork is done.

3. Be Organized:

How you organize your time and the place you work at is vital to achieving success in the workplace. This is where the saying “a cluttered desk represents a cluttered mind” feels true. To have a completely organized workstation and schedule save the time, effort and stress. The mind does not work as well when it’s juggling hundreds of different thoughts at once, so have a place for everything and everything in its place.

4. Be informed and well aware:

Why not get to know the organization? To be able to understand its aims, hierarchical structure and involvement in schemes presents you interest in the company and shows your desire to climb that ladder. It would also be embarrassing for you if a senior employee asked, and you weren’t able to answer. So even if it’s just basic research, get to know who you’re working for.

5. Dress smartly:

Every company/organization has an image, and every workplace tends to have an unwritten dress code. A company’s image is important as it is a way for the public to identify them and advertises that brand, so naturally all of its employees must also put in the effort to uphold the company image. To be appropriately dressed is to establish yourself as part of the team.

6. Be creative:

Ultimately, employers are always looking for someone that stands out from the masses and that involves a bit of creativity. Is there a way that you can be doing a job more effectively? Or is there something you know, or a work experience you’ve had that no one else has? If so, then don’t be shy about it, feel free to try something different or bring to the table your life experiences, because at the end of the day it is much better than blending into the other faces in the room.

7. Be stress free:

Is stress stopping you from achieving your goals, well stress gets the better of all of us, and at times it gets hard to cope. Recently the LFS discovered that in 2022/23, approximately 1.8 million people are suffering from work-related ill health and 49% of them were linked to stress, depression, and anxiety. So it is important not only for you working performance but your own health to have some form of outlet such as a hobby or a sport to relieve the stress of work and life in general.

8. Be more cooperative, sociable, or team-oriented:

We can’t exactly help who our colleagues are, and we definitely can’t control whether they like us or not. However, it doesn’t hurt to try. If you can establish a good relationship with the people you work with the likelihood is that working may become a whole lot easier, especially considering that teamwork is an important aspect of employment.

9. Keep your work life and social life separate:

We’re all guilty of not finishing work in the office and taking it home to finish off. Stop! This is wrong! To succeed you need to establish boundaries between your work life and your social life so that there is a place for your mind to relax.
