Does anyone know what you do at work?

Who knows what you do at work?

It is easy to forget during our busy day at work, that everyone is busy with their own responsibilities, tasks & meetings

We often assume that others should know what we are doing

The things that tend to be talked about are the things that went wrong

And if you are in the frame when something didn’t go to plan, there may be a culture of blame, letting the side down

This is when impressions get formed & perceptions created

It doesn’t need to be this way

By communicating what you do, you can influence those perceptions

Here are three ways you can do this -

✅NEVER ASSUME others know the value you bring to your role

✅Share updates in a call or weekly review - Ensure your manager is aware of what you do -Keep it high level & avoid the intricate details as they are busy people; -Highlight problems you solved, difficult situations you dealt with -Mention results or achievements

✅Convey information during informal conversations with colleagues, where relevant, share as a learning or idea, or something that you struggled with & overcame

What have you done to make others aware of what you are doing?

In fact, do your colleagues & managers know what you get up to at work?

If not, now is the time to change that!
