Here’s a yardstick to measure yourself as a worker or the person you want
to hire
By Carol Forsloff
As someone who's worked with employers and job placement and helped
individuals identify careers, I have learned some important information I
would like to share about what makes a good or poor worker. Here are
eight characteristics I consider important.
By way of introduction, I believe successful workers are likely to be happy
and successful with their work. They find it not just a means to an end but
satisfying in and of itself. Therefore they are able to enjoy what they do
and these are some of the characteristics that are important to the
successful workers:
To be successful at work and effective employee should maintain a balance
between work and leisure. Self-esteem isn't something that's just
developed in the workplace. It is part of what an individual learns and
promotes for the self and in leisure activities.
Good communication skills are important for many jobs and are good
characteristics for most jobs. These involve listening, speaking and writing
clearly. They are important enough so many jobs advertise for people
having the skills. Effective employees strive to communicate well.
The successful employee is able to handle override the conflicting demands
and to maintain a consistent performance standard regardless of the stress
involved in the situation this is particularly true in the modern workplace or
individual employee may have to handle multiple tasks.
Success is also defined why the attitude of the worker while performing the
job rather than the number of tasks completed. An individual who is a
successful good worker is someone who tries to handle stress and
complete the job in a cooperative, pleasant manner.
A good employee also needs to have a sense of the politics within an
organization, demonstrate an awareness of those politics and act
appropriately. This involves knowing what to say, home to say to and when
to say it, scratch that.
Part of an employee's success is knowing how his or her job performance
impacts the company financially. The shoe salesperson knows that the
number of shoes he sells in taxes pay as well as the business profits. The
professional social worker recognizes the client needs are not responded to
promptly effectively and in the least costly manner, the program and the
jobs that depend on it may be lost.
Physical and emotional health also promote success on the job. A good
employee involved have proper exercise, nutrition and positive self-care
which can all add to an individual's sense of well-being. This means an
employee who is healthy and does not need to take many sick days.
Offering it is these essential, could characteristics that in employer looks for
first because many skills learned for the job are learned on the job.
Interpersonal skills are particularly important for successful workers and
should be highlighted as an important part of any career preparation.
