| Your Job |
When time is bad and even in good time, It is prudent to take precautionary measures to keep your job. Here are the 7 effective tips:
- Accept a pay cut: Accept wholeheartedly the proposed pay cut. It is better than getting retrenched. Brace a hard time with the company that you are working for and go through this difficult period without complaining.
- Keep your smile: Do not listen to rumors. They disturb you mentally. Be happy and carry on working as usual.
- Create value for the company: One positive thing that you can do at this critical stage is to create value for the company by increasing revenue, reducing expenses, or enhancing the image of the company. Do one of these things well and you will be highly valued by the boss.
- Lifelong Learning: Keep yourself up-to-date in your area of expertise and increase your knowledge of other relevant skills like communication, negotiation, and management. Create room for you to move sideways and upward.
- Information alert: Study the news like national policies, business trends,s and the decisions taken by your company. You equip yourself with the latest information and be ready with the next move.
- Networking: Fine-tune your people skills and keep in touch with your circle of influence. Knowing the right people is more important than knowing the right things to do.
- Do better and do more: Expand your role. When you can do your job and still take on more assignments you will be the last one to be considered for retrenchment. At the same time take a look at your job critically and see how you can be more valuable to the company by improving your performance further.
