Workplace Advancement Essentials: Working Productively | |||
| As we discussed in the last E-Newsletter, according to the Workplace Basics: The Skills Employers Want the US core abilities –or the essential workplace skills that cut across all occupational titles in the country—include working productively, learning effectively, communicating clearly, working cooperatively, acting responsibly, valuing self positively and thinking strategically (Milke). The definition of WORKING PRODUCTIVELY is that "an individual possesses and applies effective work habits and attitudes within an organizational setting." The skills and attitudes related to working productively include: • Managing time and workload • Recognizing and applying quality procedures • Demonstrating dependability, accuracy and initiative • Handling responsibly; carrying out instructions and job requirements • Understanding of business principles, values and norms of the work culture • Commitment to personal effectiveness within the organization Moraine Park researchers behind the Workplace Basics note that from the employers’ perspective a negative attitude and poor work habits act as powerful deterrents to keeping a job—even if the credentials and the necessary technical skills are in place. Consistent demonstration of the core competencies , however, increases one’s desirability from the employers’ standpoint and may lead to a better career. | |||
