Career enhancement is often taken too lightly. Very often individuals go with the tide after they get that much searched-for job and end up as mediocre at their jobs. They fail to understand that career advancement is a deliberate intervention that must systematically be planned and implemented. They miss that rare but important opportunity to get to the next level.
It is important to remember that as a worker or employee you are basically a marketer, selling goods, products and services to a client. You must therefore understand who your client is, and give your client unprecedented and unmatched services that go beyond his or her expectations. Performance is basically a behavior that can be changed by behavior change interventions.
To achieve high career goals you must understand you will sometimes have to outpace your fellow employees and competitors by going the extra mile and have your tasks completed and targets met all the time. You must be knowledgeable of your job and understand the institutional policies and operating procedures that influence your work as well as acquire the requisite functional and professional competencies for high level performance. You must acquire the ability to interpret institutional culture and take advantage of the culture to attain high levels of performance.
Excelling at your work is a personal responsibility and hence you must identify your individual core qualities and use them to improve your own performance. You will be required to overcome pitfalls to your performance, set performance challenges and stretch yourself to the next level in your career ladder.
In order to do this you will be required to formulate smart performance improvement intentions and develop effective performance improvement plans
At Express expertise Limited we use a logical approach to guide our clients to new heights in their careers. The logical approach is based on the premise that individuals have work preferences or motivations. An employee’s motivating work values affect job performance through influencing specific limiting or promotive factors (including job knowledge, skills, initiative, attitudes and beliefs). Job performance ultimately affects client satisfaction. It is the premise of this approach that satisfied clients reward the employee in various ways including recognition and opportunities for career growth. An important aspect of satisfying a client is the process of reviewing and reflecting on your own work performance. An employee’s performance can be considered from three different perspectives i.e. how well she or he meets the needs and expectations of the client; how well she or he meets the needs and expectations of the organization; and how well she or he complies with the rules, regulations and standards of the organization.
