How Are You Evolving As An Employee?
Acquiring new skills through training or further education is often recommended by employment counsellors as a way to advance careers. There are also improvements that we can make that don’t cost any money or involve any special talent.
Examining how we act on a day-to-day basis and making adjustments can significantly impact how we’re viewed by supervisors, colleagues and customers. Our conduct can even affect relationships at home and in our community activities.

These include punctuality, flexibility, attitude, being coachable, preparedness, resourcefulness, empathy, work ethic, passion, humility, and confidentiality.
