The ethos of re energising your career is that individuals are responsible for developing their own careers and the paternal relationship that companies once had with their employees, no longer exists. This view does not presume that organizations are not committed to the development of staff; however development is carefully aligned with organizational objectives.

If you are interested in re energising your career you must have a motivation for doing so. You need to feel there is a purpose in expending your energy and you must believe that there is some value in your reward. This strategy involves changing habits and changing behaviour. It may also involve changing the way that you think about yourself and changing the way that others see you.

Re energising your career at work will lead to success in what ever way that it is perceived by you. Successful individuals are more satisfied with their lives; this improves their moods and can help motivation.

Here are good reasons to re energise your career:

□ You’ll identify a purpose which will help to keep you happy, focused and motivated.
□ You’ll be in a good mood; this is good for your own well being and is contagious so it will spread to your colleagues and your customers as well as other areas of your life.
□ You’ll be more likely to go that extra mile in terms of the service that you provide. This will improve the service that we give to our customers and colleagues.
□ We’ll present a positive impression of ourselves to others, increasing our marketability.
□ If we are happy at work, it improves our relationships with others. We are less likely to encounter conflict.
□ Self development will increase your chances of increasing your earnings capacity.
□ It’ll help you to develop a better work life balance.
□ It’ll increase your self esteem and feelings of self worth.
□ You’ll identify strengths as well as development areas
□ You’ll develop new skills

The reasons listed above are personal to an individual. They will also be of benefit to your company. The good news is that the majority of companies don’t really want to lose their staff; they recognise that a company’s key resource is the human capital that exists within it.

15. Give Added Value

The reality of modern companies is that employers want employees to give more than their job description dictates; along with undertaking discretionary behaviours they also require individuals to give added value. Added value is a similar concept to “ buy one get one free” . It requires an individual to have a skill or ability in abundance or addition to what’s required for the job role. Examples of this are a manager that can also deliver training or is skilled in occupational assessments, coaching or mentoring or an individual who is fluent in many languages. Discover what skill gives you added value and promote this as your unique selling point.
