Moral Work other than General Duty
Most people working in any organization confine themselves to just finishing the duties for which they are employed. Many moral responsibilities can help you boost your workplace image like helping co-workers, seniors, etc. For instance – if someone forgets to turn off the fan of their desk after leaving the office, do it for them and remind them about it, but also say that there is nothing to worry about as you did that work for them. Another instance – ‘ you saw your senior struggling with parking his car, Assist him immediately. This will build your social and workplace image extraordinary. Your seniors will start knowing you because you are extra-beneficial and kind to them alongside doing everything that others are also doing.
So, in total, have a habit of doing morally correct functions that are not necessarily related to your core office functions.
Relationship with Clients, Seniors and Co-Workers
Building good relationships with clients is another effective practice to get fast progress in work life. When you are friendly with your clients, often your clients, when they talk with your seniors, provide good feedback about you. Many times, they prefer you as a personal service assistant. So, all this improves your reputation, which is vital for job promotion. Also, ask your clients to give good ratings and feedback about you when you solve their problems. You can also give gifts to your clients and seniors on various occasions.
Make everyone dependent on you
Increase your dependency in the office; make almost everyone dependent on you for some kind of work. It doesn’t matter whether the work is small or big.
Use of Social Media
Follow all your seniors and persons responsible for your salary hike, promotion etc. Give good engagement to their social media posts and message them about any serious news pertaining to your work or industry, but try to send positive occurrences only. Also, on positive events, congrats them. You can promote your company’s services through engaging in online forums/comments and posts and give credit to seniors by tagging them.
