To become untouchable and take control of matters in these difficult times, you must figure out how to be accepted by making the smartest decisions and devising a concrete action plan that will help you achieve your goals. Before I go any further, let me quickly say this; there is no better antidote than hard work, if you really want to become untouchable in your workplace. But if you’d like to follow these steps I’m about to reveal, it will go a long way in your quest to be a fireproof employee throughout your salaried career.
The first step is to cultivate a good working relationship with both your employer and your co-workers. One thing I have observed over the years is that employees like them while they diligently do their job; they often retain them, even if they are less competent at their job. This is very important, especially if you are new to the organization and just trying to establish your potential. You should also familiarize yourself with what your employer likes versus dislikes. If he is the type that requires feedback at the end of each task carried out or the type that seeks good and fast results.
Almost every employer I’ve come across likes to keep their best people. No good employer likes to substitute intelligence for mediocrity. With this in mind, you can master the art of focusing on your employer’s priority and refusing to be distracted by secondary comments. Doing your best as much as possible by working hard and keeping up with your work will always give you an advantage. This can be achieved by improving your skills and learning new things by attending seminars, workshops, good conferences on record keeping and acquiring mentorship in your field. In the course of doing all of this, unknown to you, your boss will receive an errand report from him. Getting back to mentoring in your field, it’s always good to have a mentor in your career to guide and protect you. Mentors have proven to be a good shoulder to lean on when you reach a crossroads in your career. If you can get a proven and successful mentor to guide and advise you, then all the better for you.
Be prudent, profitable and financially intelligent in your financial transactions. Employers don’t like reckless spending, especially when employees are entrusted with money to carry out official assignments. They are happy to deal with any staff they can trust when it comes to providing good accountability. This is where good record keeping and financial discipline come into play, and your integrity must be unquestioned, clean, and certainly trusted in this sensitive area. Get this, knowing and doing what is expected of you in your workplace cannot make your employer overlook this aspect.
After safely guiding and taking these steps, you can be sure that you have a better chance of keeping your job than other employees who don’t.
