World Of Work - 5 TYPES OF EMPLOYEES

 World Of Work Series

I've worked a 9-to-5 job in at least four different organisations with various job titles and descriptions.  One thing I've discovered is to never focus on titles because they are subject to change and are associated with various job descriptions. Your primary focus in your career paths should be on lifelong learning while developing abilities that will allow you to earn, survive and contribute positively in an ever-changing work environment.

 

I work as a freelance consultant ( self-employed) at the moment. I do offer training and facilitation services in the 21st century skills, digital literacy, creative entrepreneurship and financial literacy targeting mostly the young people from undeserved communities. 

📍 5 TYPES OF EMPLOYEES 

Over the course of two decades, I have encountered the following five sorts of employees.  

1. Employees who will just follow their job description and perform what they are expected to do.

2. Employees who will fulfil their obligations while going above and beyond to find new and creative methods to improve things.  

3. Employees who rely solely on the efforts of others and are unsure of their own responsibilities but are quick to take credit.  

4. Employees who attempt to do nearly everything that falls under the purview of other people's job descriptions. 

5. Employees who are aware of their responsibilities yet require constant reminders and encouragement.

Now you know, my advice is always to go the extra mile without overshadowing anyone. 

Just remember, there will always be politics at the workplace, but you need to learn how to handle each situation or avoid them in totality.If you would want to learn more about working in a toxic workplace, please email me to schedule a session with your team.
