Tip of the month: What are employers looking for in a “good employee’?

Here are some of the qualifications:

· Good employees take the initiative. There is a huge difference between an employee who does things on his or her own and one who doesn’t. Imagine yourself as a boss. You have two employees. One does nothing unless told exactly what to do, then does it poorly. The other one does any assigned task well, but in addition she is always happy to be helping and never sits idle. She always seems to be doing something to make life easier for customers or other employees. Who would your rather work with? Who will you promote? The choice is obvious.

· Good employees take responsibility. When they are given a task they do a good job and see the task through to completion. Good employees are responsible for their own actions and the work they produce.

· Good employees understand the financial side of the business. They know what activities make the business money and focus on them. They understand their paychecks depend on the business making money.

· Good employees keep their commitments, both large and small. Simple commitments are important: returning calls, showing up on time, etc.

· Good employees know that customers (and other team members) matter. Good employees take the time to ask people how they are doing and show concern and empathy for the needs of others.

· Good employees do a job cheerfully, even if it is not their favorite. Who wants to work with a person who is complaining all the time?

· A good employee consistently does what is best for the company.

· A good employee is disciplined and stays on track.

· A good employee is a consistent performer. Tasks are done well all the time, so the employer can depend on you.

· Good employees are self-motivated. If there is a period of time where there is nothing to do, they find something useful to fill the void. Or they spend the time learning something new that will help their performance on the job.

· Good employees give credit to others on the team.

· Good employees exceed expectations. They do more than they are asked to do, and they do a better job than expected. If you never do more than you are paid to do, you will never be paid more for what you do.
