Text 2: Five ways to be irreplaceable at work

According to Judy Free and Tracy Maddox, authors of “The Essential Employee: The Adventures of Carmen Senz”, research has revealed behaviors considered most valuable in the workplace, in the view of supervisors, coworkers and executives. The employees who exhibit these behaviors to all levels of the organization are in a unique position to build a reputation as absolutely necessary within the organization. It’s easy to remember, with a simple acronym: R.E.A.C.H. Perhaps, the best part is , these behaviors apply to anyone , and have little to do with your current role, education, level of experience or professional background.

These five essential behaviors are may seem like common sense, but we all know the old adage that common sense isn’t so common,” said Maddox, a senior consultant at Sage Peak Associates, Inc. and co-author of the book. She and Free conducted the study across the nation, in a variety of workplace settings , to develop the REACH formula.

  1. Results.

Showing up for work every day does not make you effective or valuable. In fact, a study by AOL and Salary.com revealed that “full-time employees work a total of three days a week” (Meaning, they do nothing of value the other two)

To make yourself known as a results-oriented employee, focus not on the amount of time you’re at work, but instead of what you’re producing. Further, align that production with measurable goals and outcomes.

How do you do that? Take ownership of all projects assigned to you (and pick up any extras that you feel particularly passionate about or capable of handling). Be transparent and communicate regularly with your supervisor and others involved in the project about its progress and the goals you are working towards. When you reach them, make it known!

  1. Enthusiasm

Energy is contagious, both good and bad. Someone who is lagging on the job will bring others around them down. Conversely, people with an energetic presence have the power to transform the vibe of others. No one wants to be around the grim reaper every day at work, even if things are not so great. Be the positive force that always has a “can-do” attitude. Not only will your co-workers enjoy your company, but your energy will communicate to superiors that you are an employee who is committed to the organization and its success.

  1. Attitude

Things will go wrong at work. Guaranteed. But even in the most derailed situations, something right happens. Focus on the positive, and steer clear of joining the “woe is me” mentality your co-workers may fall prey to. Something as simple as a smile and laughter can go a long way, not only in impacting the mood of your workplace, but in expressing your gratitude to your job (and paycheck!).
