How to improve workplace safety:

1. professionalism

"Like a way of doing things", professionalism is built up like this.

No matter what work you do, you have to make various plans to deal with all possible accidents. Let your boss be willing to give you important tasks and think back to you when you have important tasks, because your boss has a sense of security about your way of doing things.

2. beyond the need

Sometimes, the boss's request is not very clear, or is not clear what the specific needs are, these needs may be found in the process of completion. If you are a boss, what kind of hope do you have to achieve this step? It is to exceed your boss's needs.

When the boss knew that the two daughters on the train were working on a book, she got a sense of security. Of course, Andy gradually replaced the first secretary.

3. report in time.

Let your boss know your behavior at any time, know your concerns and know how much you have invested in the tasks he has assigned. The boss has a sense of control over the progress of important things, and so does the sense of security. To achieve a professional and efficient workplace, it is clear that the following two points are king: know who your boss is, not your boss.

Define what the boss expects.

Or the old saying, people in the workplace like rivers and lakes, anxiety will have anyone, but fate is in their own hands.

3. no matter where you sit, you must keep studying habits.

From ten to fifteen years of social work, there will be a sense of occlusion and powerlessness. Because, at this stage, although the office workers have certain qualifications and experience, the work is also handy, but there are more senior predecessors than themselves, and there are always those who want to surpass your peers.

Therefore, it is recommended that you, whether you are a grass-roots employee or a supervisor, should keep learning habits and value your competitiveness at any time. Because in the age of globalization, you are not competing with Chinese, Americans and Japanese, but competing with top talents from all over the world. He emphasized that learning is not related to intelligence, but mainly depends on attitude and the ability to cultivate independent thinking.

Where to build personal competitiveness? The ability to use a foreign language and the ability to use the Internet are most important today.

4. always do more than the boss asks.

Only know that employees who are "good at work" are waiting to be eliminated. Because in this era of intense competition, there are many more active people who know that you will always do more than your boss asks. You have to exceed your boss's expectations and let him surprise you. Don't just wait for your boss to impart experience and lead you to grow up. In fact, you can rely on your own efforts to put forward a brilliant idea that can push the company forward.

5., be a "user oriented" supervisor.

When you are an employee, you must strive for personal performance to meet your boss's requirements; however, when you become a boss, your value will no longer come from personal achievement, but from the performance of every member of the team. You must understand the characteristics of every employee in the Department, guide their potential and help them avoid making the same mistake.

Therefore, you should let yourself become a "user oriented person", which will help the whole department achieve overall results and become an important competitive power of the enterprise.

6. expand your network at any time and know how to maintain it.

Don't assume that only people in charge of certain positions need connections. In fact, no matter where you are, connections will always bring you more unexpected benefits.

Expanding your connections is everywhere. In addition to specific activities, it is a good channel to connect from the neighbor on the plane to the Internet, and to make good use of "Friends of friends".

It is not difficult to establish connections. At least once a year, talk about the situation with everyone in the contact book and friends list, and maintain the relationship with each other so that the other person will remember you when you hear your name.

7., bravely move towards "bypass" life.

Most people's lives do not depart from the fixed mode of "study, graduation, inauguration, marriage, promotion, retirement". However, if you are still young, you might as well jump away from this pattern and bravely take a "detour" life.

Make friends with friends from all over the world and expand their vision and international outlook.

In this way, when you enter the workplace, you may start a little later than others. But broadened mind and global vision will make you faster and more opportunities than others. The life of detour, the various experiences and beautiful scenery on the way will become the energy of your sprint.

In this era of rapid change, no company can guarantee sustainable operation. If you look beyond your horizons, you will find more and more opportunities outside.
