This situation is normal in the workplace. People in the workplace are busy and have leisure, especially newcomers in the workplace, who always receive new tasks assigned by leaders and colleagues. They are also called "people who can do more work".
Is "people who can do more work" a good thing or a bad thing? Should newcomers in the workplace take everything down? Or leave in anger? To know how to solve this problem, we must first know why this is the case.
First, why are there "people who can do more work"? 1. There is something wrong with the enterprise rules and regulations.
The division of labor within the enterprise is not clear. My cousin works in a state-owned enterprise, and the leader will arrange for her to help her colleagues finish what their colleagues have not finished. If it is because of the problems of enterprise rules and regulations, it is suggested that the leaders clearly define the division of labor, and it is better to divide it among people.
2. The company considers the recruitment cost.
If one employee can do the work of two people, the cost of the company can be greatly reduced.
Business leaders want to improve the efficiency of the company and let an employee "work as hard as he can". How should we treat this requirement of leaders?
Two or three steps to solve the problem of "those who can do more work" 1. Changing mentality: From passive to active economics instructor Xue Zhaofeng said that this is a process from passive to active, and the mentality should be changed first.
(1) From the leader's point of view, it shows that it is trusted by the leader. Why did the leader give you the task and not others? This reflects the leader's recognition of personal ability and trust in himself. In the workplace, it is very important to gain the respect and trust of leaders.
If he gains the trust of the leader, he will teach his workplace experience without reservation, so that newcomers in the workplace can take fewer detours on the road of career development.
(2) From the perspective of self-development, more work means faster growth. Xue Zhaofeng said: "Every job is actually a prelude to the next job." The more you do this job, the more experience you have accumulated, and the more capital you have to ask for higher salary and quit.
I was deeply impressed by a sentence by Zhao Shuai in The Story of Chipa: "Doing more is actually self-appreciation".
People don't work for the boss, not for the company, but for their own resumes.
Does the change of mind mean that we will do all the work next? No, I think what we should do is to measure the value.
2. Measure value: refuse to repeat work. We have to measure not only the salary or material return, but the value that this job brings us.
When I was an intern, what I did was to copy and paste articles on the new media platform. The leader at that time told me: "If you can only copy and paste and can't find a good job, anyone can replace it."
All work can be divided into two categories: creative work and repetitive work.
According to incomplete statistics, an employee learns the most in the first six months, but he can't learn more after working for one and a half years, which is a repetitive job. What can really make employees grow is creative work and valuable work.
Now the development of artificial intelligence has been quite rapid, and many repetitive tasks can be replaced by robots. My home is in a small town on the 18 line. All supermarkets have started to use cash registers by machines, and the number of cashier posts has obviously dropped sharply. So what we have to do is to measure whether the extra work assigned to you is duplication of work.
Accept those creative jobs and how to choose to reject those that are not creative.
Many newcomers in the workplace are embarrassed to refuse, which will turn themselves into "intimate women." Be a good person in the workplace, work hard, get no thanks from others, get no reward, get no growth, and only consume yourself at work.
It is the most important thing to finish your work and make yourself happy, so you must be clear about your boundaries and resolutely refuse others. You can use VAR skills. This is a three-step technique to improve your awareness of effective evaluation.
V stands for verification. It is good to test other people's ideas first.
Think about it, if you are rejected, will you be very depressed? So when we refuse others, they will be particularly unhappy, and we should try our best to reduce their sense of loss. What shall we do? First, affirm each other, or express our understanding of him.
A stands for sticking to your guns.
When you refuse others, you must be specific, not vague, and just express directly that you don't accept the job.
R stands for strengthening, strengthening your understanding of him.
Tell yourself that you are also thinking of the other person, and let the other person know that after I say no, it is also good for him.
This technique is a bit like the sandwich rule. Give the other person affirmation (the next piece of bread), then express your own opinion (the core content: the meat pie in the middle of the sandwich), and finally give affirmation or propose an improvement plan (the last piece of bread).
For example, the leader asked me to be responsible for the printing of company documents in the future, which is a worthless job. We can say this:
Ok, thank you for your arrangement. It seems that I can learn to use a tool again. But I have a lot of work now, and I can't handle it. Can I do it for other colleagues? I am worried that my task will not be completed, which will affect the company's income.
Of course, this is just an example. I have to think about the real situation before replying.
3. Accept the job: improve efficiency and create value. If this job is creative and valuable, we want this arrangement, but adding another job on the original basis will increase our workload. If we want to finish it in the same time, we must improve efficiency.
So how can we improve execution and efficiency? This is a big topic, and I personally will use several methods like this.
(1) List the daily work plan;
Make a work plan before going to work, and follow the smart principle, which is clear, effective and measurable.
(2) focus on work and eliminate interference;
Use pomodoro technique to ensure that you don't look at your mobile phone, browse other web pages and concentrate on a certain job for 25 minutes.
(3) using debris time;
My job is to write articles, so I can divide writing articles into several steps: topic selection, logical structure, materials, organizational language, title, revision and so on. And write it down in Iflytek. When waiting for the bus, you can consider the structure. Only a small part of each fragmentation time can be completed, which can improve work efficiency.
If you still can't finish it in your own hands, ask the leader for help and push the worthless work to others. Of course, the premise of this step is that you can achieve results in creative work, and the leader is willing to let you undertake this part of the work.
To sum up, it is common to do more work in the workplace. There are three steps to solve this problem:
1. Changing mentality: from passive to active.
2. Measuring value: refusing to repeat work
3. Accept the job: improve efficiency and create value.
