Establish a habit of doing more than you're paid for.

Monday, March 30, 2009 by Harlan Schafir
There seems to be a lot of fear in the workplace lately.  From the adult perspective, we know that crises happen, markets go up and down, people get laid off.  But that used to happen to someone else, not us.  That is no longer the case.

What do we do?  Paul H. Sutherland of Zenvesting teaches: establish a habit of doing more than you're paid for.  Do everything you can to keep your employer profitable.

Help keep your employer's core values in the vision.  Don't let panic overtake reasonability.  Keep connection to ethics, virtue and common sense.

As an employer, when hiring new employees what steps are you taking when hiring new employees to find the people who embody your culture through pre-employment testing & assessments?  Do you assess what you need for job performance, think lean HR, or make use of applicant tracking and use human resource management systems available on the market to access for job fit?  These steps will help set your employees up for success, not failure.  After all, it is all about the people.

What are you doing as an employer or employee to insure your success?
