Ideas to prevent a possible lay off

Read More About Business Ideas & Tips

There are a a small number of steps that employees can do to make themselves known to employers to with a bit of luck be promoted someday. Those same tactics are now being implemented by the employees to not be fired when the next line of lay offs happens their way.

So what’s the secret?

According to BusinessWeek here are a small amount of the instructions from the periodical:

1) Center on the company’s accomplishment rather than your own. Most employers don’t have the time (or money) to deal with any latent problems you may have. When you’re at work, you are there to labor and not create drag for you or your team.

2) You have to be more than enthusiastic to change. I don’t just mean use blue pens rather than black pens, you have to be ready and eager to change direction at the drop of a dime and be prepared for it. If the company is looking to mix up the product lines or create a new mission report for the corporation, its time to be the “yes man” and learn how to cooperate with the change.

3) Be fantastic at your job and be useful in every facet of the company. At the same time as this is a lot of work, it shows your employer that you have a commitment to the company by going above and beyond your own everyday jobs.

4) Community hour should be after work, not throughout. The last thing a business needs is for its workers to be negative and do a lot of gossiping while on the clock. “No complaining, no blaming!”

5) You have to abide by the rules, even the ones that may not have been written down. An instance is to be at work early and be at least prepared to stay late. When looking at this tip, now would be a fine time to quit smoking and start bringing your lunch to work with you to shun smoke breaks and long lunches.

6) You need to resolve problems before they occur. If there’s a way to make the business more competent (or make it more money), tell your boss. Of course, this means there will be some time away from the office and in your home where you may have to do some research about competitors and what they’re doing. Doing this ensures that you are percieved as an asset to the company

7) Become friendly with people outside your department, specially those in human resources.

8 ) Social networking is important, if not crucial in today’s workplace. On the BusinessWeek article this tip is titled “Start Tweeting or Start Packing.” I think that this tip is more important to those in the marketing field than those in, say, the bookkeeping department. Social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook are easy to set up and use. Here’s a caution: Don’t “Facebook” too much at work.
