8 Effortless Ways to Be a Five-Star Coworker
I’m not saying that we don’t have bad days, but going into work in a bad mood is unfair to your coworkers. Like you, they are paid to perform a job, well. Admittedly a coworker’s mood should not affect our ability to complete a task, but in reality, it does.
Whether you are long-term employee or a newcomer, distinguish yourself by being the five-star coworker every one aspires to be. Bonus: the boss will notice.
Here are 8 effortless ways to become a five-star coworker:
1. Greet or acknowledge coworkers with a smile or a nod.
2. Take a moment to talk to new coworkers to help make them feel welcome and included.
3. Be reliable. This means arriving to work on time; not taking a “mental-health” day when your department is swamped; and, doing your job well.
4. Practice courtesy. Always remember to say “Please” and “Thank you.”
5. Congratulate your coworkers when they’ve done a great job, received a promotion, or achieved a personal goal.
6. Express concern and/or interest when coworkers experience health concerns or are going through a personal loss or trial. (Privately, of course.)
7. If you have offended or been rude to a coworker, promptly and sincerely apologize. (Without excuses.)
8. Listen without interrupting—allow the person to complete their sentence.
This may sound cliché, nonetheless, I’ll say it; tomorrow is a new day, an opportunity to choose to become the coworker everyone looks up to and looks forward to seeing. It takes courage to change, but once you tackle one of these, you’ll be able to take on the next one. ______Rosalinda Randall, Workplace Civility Expert, Trainer, Author, Media Source Rosalinda’s in-house training programs help support HR policies or address workplace concerns.
