Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right at work, <br />yet still felt undervalued and unappreciated? <br />Many people experience this feeling, but the root cause may be your habits. <br />In this talk, we have explored four habits that may lead to feeling undervalued and underappreciated at work, and how to overcome them.<br /><br />The first habit we explore is working quietly without appeal. <br />Many people are hesitant to show off their achievements, <br />but proper communication of your accomplishments is essential to demonstrate your value. <br />It's not about bragging, <br />but rather about showcasing your skills and hard work in a way that your boss can understand. <br />Utilizing numerical figures, such as the amount of work done or time spent, <br />in your daily reports can help your boss see your contributions <br />and the value you bring to the company.<br /><br />The second habit we discuss is the desire for perfection. <br />While it may seem like aiming for perfection is a good strategy, <br />it can actually lead to lower evaluations. <br />Submitting work a little before the deadline with a quality score of at least 40 can be more effective. <br />This approach allows your boss to provide feedback, <br />giving you a chance to make necessary changes and show that you value their time and expertise. <br />Instead of striving for perfection, <br />aiming for a passing grade can speed up the work process.<br />The third habit we explore is a misunderstanding of the definition of "effort." <br />People who work hard often desire appreciation and recognition for their efforts. <br />However, what employers want is not simply effort, but ingenuity. <br />They evaluate whether an employee uses their own brain to devise and create value. <br />By focusing on developing new ways of working and incorporating ingenuity into your work, you can demonstrate your value and contribute to the company's success.<br /><br />The fourth habit we discuss is taking on too much work. <br />Being a team player is essential, <br />but taking on more than you can handle can lead to decreased performance and lower evaluations. <br />Communicating with your boss about your workload <br />and setting realistic expectations can help you avoid burnout and stress, <br />leading to higher productivity and performance.<br /><br />To illustrate the impact of these habits, <br />let me share the story of my friend Sarah, an exceptional designer who struggled with feeling undervalued at work. <br />Despite working tirelessly and going above and beyond, <br />Sarah received lower evaluations than her colleagues who completed similar work in less time. After seeking feedback from her boss, <br />Sarah realized that her desire for perfection and inability to delegate tasks were hindering her performance. <br />By changing her habits and communication with her boss, <br />she was able to demonstrate her value and receive the recognition she deserved.<br /><br />In conclusion, it's important to recognize the habits that may lead to feeling undervalued at work.
