When working part-time, it’s not easy to make colleagues aware of who you are and what you do. It’s not easy to feel part of the professional entity…
Here are four key things to remember to make yourself indispensable, or almost…
Delivering Quality
It can’t be said enough: “It’s not the quantity that matters, but the quality”.
Here again, remember not to measure your indispensability in terms of hours but rather in terms of output. Only the quality of your work can make the difference and create a real climate of esteem, trust, and therefore mutual pleasure and motivation.
>> Take care of your presentation and that of what you present to others. Consider both content and form; they are linked. Focus your energy and limited time on a specific task, a clear and defined objective.
Adopting the Mentality
Another proverb seems to be relevant: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.
Your efficiency, your respect for the company’s priorities, its codes, its values, will create the bond that everyone needs to flourish and give their best. Understanding the company culture, integrating it, making it your own and evolving with it, builds team spirit, the cohesion of the structure, and thus gives it its full value. Becoming an employee essential to the life of the company means acting, functioning in the same direction, and to do so, it is necessary to stay informed constantly. Even during your absences.
>> Remember to ask your colleagues and superiors questions, read news emails, and be present, come what may, at major meetings…
Suggesting Ideas
Daring to make suggestions, proposing avenues for reflection and evolution, putting forward ideas are also excellent ways of affirming that you are an integral part of the company, that you are concerned, involved, and perfectly aware of what is happening. Your short presence on the premises should in no way affect your team spirit and your strong will to demonstrate it.
>> Refuse to go it alone; be in the same “boat” as your colleagues by showing that you have “thought about”, done, undone, and redone the world in which you work and evolve.
Communicating Effectively
There can be no company without real and deep company communication. And this begins where people inform themselves, exchange, share, and decide. Whether at the coffee machine, at lunch, or during a cigarette break, it would be a shame not to try to establish pleasant comradely relationships with your colleagues and maintain this bond in your short daily time on site…
>> Reach out to others, communicate, lightly or seriously, but communicate. Offer your environment a way to access you in order to give yourself the possibility of touching, through human interaction, on the issues of your professional establishment.
