Stop Being Overlooked at Work

Whether at home or in the office or cubicle, many employees are working longer and harder than ever before. In many instances, because they are working autonomously, they’re also becoming better problem-solvers. And while demands on employees may be rising, availability of employee recognition and increased compensation typically are not.
 
Job satisfaction isn't solely about pay. Employees want to know that their talents and efforts are recognized, valued, and appreciated by those around them. There’s a certain sense of security in knowing that your organization highly regards your contribution. It also builds self-esteem and is empowering.
 
In some cases, however, when employees feel they are being overlooked by management it has nothing to do with length of tenure or even job performance but the employees’ efforts to get noticed.
 
Here are some recommendations to help increase your visibility.
 
  1. Evaluate your contributions to the organization and determine if the value you add to the organization warrants recognition. If recognition is merited, prepare for the conversation with specific examples of how you have benefited the organization’s bottom-line. Given your organization’s typical employee recognition process, identify how you would like to be recognized.
  2. Through your work, build a foundation of mutual purpose and discuss with your organization the powerful connection between a). employee commitment to the needs of the organization and b). the organization’s commitment to powerful motivators like recognition.
  3. Provide your organization with regular status updates of your work. Candidly discuss projects and the milestones achieved before the information is requested. Taking the initiative to provide timely and accurate communication with management will help get you noticed and not forgotten. Being proactive demonstrates your drive to succeed and makes you and your work difficult to overlook.
  4. Keep in mind that successful organizations invest in and retain those employees who engage in continuous learning and skills-development. Advise your organization of your completion of self-study and readings about current dilemmas that the organization is facing.
  5. Employees should clearly communicate their support of management and let management know that the employee is ready and willing to pitch in and assist wherever necessary to help make management's vision a reality.
 
These are the employees who are rarely overlooked.

    My Transition From Psychotherapist to Personal Development Coach...

    I was a successful psychotherapist for 30-plus years and I’m still licensed in my home state of Ohio. Two years ago, I made significant adjustments to my life and career and focused my work solely on Coaching.

    Since then, I’ve been asked “how does that fit?”.

    Truth is, some people participate in psychotherapy to help “clarify some things” in their lives and to find direction. For them. it’s a wonderful revelation to know that finding their inner strengths in times of trouble and gaining clarity about current life situations is not a sign of weakness at all. It's a sign of strength.

    It has been said that the most effective coaches draw heavily on theories in psychology and skills-building methods. Both coaching and psychotherapy deal with behavior, emotions and thoughts.

    I have learned that an important key to living an effective life is self-awareness. For this to occur, it often means a journey beyond our current life events and a focus on "why" those events occur. In coaching, I help identify “why” and support my clients’ development of skills to live the life they would like.

    I encourage you to consider working with a professional who provides experience, wisdom and support -- and who also provides you with agreed upon methods of accountability to help encourage you to get things done.

    And, of course, I’d like for you to contact me.

    Would you like more information about my Personal Development Coaching? Or how about a brief, confidential, no-judgement discussion of your current situation? We’ll see if our working together is a good fit.

    Contact my offices at (336) 999-4533 during regular business hours (Eastern Time) or email me at DonnaColes.Coach@gmail.com and we’ll schedule our “getting to know you” conversation.
