Career according to plan: focus and achieve goals
// By Henryk Lüderitz
The duty is followed by duty. This also applies to professional careers. After the often turbulent occupation, many graduates ask themselves how they should go on. Instead of relying on the fact that you will make your way already, the career should be better planned. Without a red thread, there is a risk of breaking and only half the ladder to climb.
Your personal inventory
Happiness and fateful events certainly belong to the professional development too, but only the salt should be in the soup. As a masterplan they are not good. Career is a very personal matter, the center of which is formed. In practice, therefore, it has proved to be a good idea to plan your career and start with a survey of the current situation.
No matter whether employees or executives - the more precisely you define your situation, the easier it is to plan and successfully implement the next development steps. And even if it is not always easy, be honest with yourself. Do not forget to look beyond the box. Your work environment has a decisive influence on your career.
A clear picture of your own tasks
To get started with the personal per- sonal balance, illuminate your own tasks. What is your core task and what are the tasks? Get a complete picture of what services are to be provided for the company and which are actually provided.
It is important not to run into the trap of self-understanding here. Thus, some tasks may have been added only with time, since no one else has the competences for this. For example, For example, a sales team, for which it may be self-evident to create reports and reports. Whoever takes on tasks of others has less time for his own career.
Your development to date
The next step is the question of the development so far.
How could you establish yourself in your area of responsibility?
Which competences have you acquired and where do you still feel insecure or do you want to improve yourself?
The question is particularly exciting in this context: How did you learn the most?
Are you more likely to benefit from training on the job with experienced colleagues, or do you prefer to develop a new task area entirely alone?
Your framework
In addition to the professional analysis, the framework conditions of the job also include the inventory.
How well do you see your colleagues?
How much fun do you have?
And do you trust your boss?
Include the situation outside the office. Is your private life too short?
Or do you have enough time to make friends and pursue your hobby? If you do not have any compensation for your daily work, you can certainly make a career. The question is only at what price.
Caution Subjectivity
A personal assessment is often subjective. Particularly young talents value themselves too well or too badly in many cases.
This situation can best be countered with a confidential foreign assessment. Speak to colleagues who you trust and ask for an honest opinion.
Are they satisfied with the cooperation?
What could be better?
What are your particular strengths?
Honest feedback can positively change one's perspective and sharpen one's personal view.
Efficient and productive working in the open-plan office: 10 tips
// By Stephan Derr
All 3 minutes will be interrupted or diverted by a Büromitarbeiter on average. And it takes 23 minutes to get back to the original task. Reason enough to learn how concentration and efficiency can be increased.
Single Office - world leader
Today's working world often gives the impression that open spaces and large-scale offices have become normality. However, a recent study shows that the traditional single office still prevails.
Employees in some companies are now allowed to work from home or in the café, others have introduced flexible workplaces in their open-plan offices. Reports like these often give the appearance of a completely modern, mobile working world - but a recent study shows that reality lags behind this picture.
Single office outweighs open space
Despite increasing teamwork, there is more office space worldwide with individual offices than office space configured as open space. In Germany, this difference is particularly great:
For example, more than half of the employees still work in individual offices, only 19 percent in open-plan offices. Exactly the reverse is true in the UK, where only 14 percent work in individual offices, but already half of workers work in open spaces.
Tradition, status, power
A study conducted by Steelcase in collaboration with Ipsos further shows that individual offices continue to express hierarchies: the higher the rank of the employee in the company, the more likely he is to have his own office.
Because individual offices traditionally stand for status and independence, it's obvious why employees with their own office are often happier with their work environment.
Open Spaces: pros and cons
Today, however, our working life is more mobile and more team-oriented than ever before - individual offices are no longer modern in many cases. However, even though this awareness is slowly gaining ground, many employees still shy away from the counterpart, Großraumbüro.
These are so far automatically linked to noise and lack of privacy. Properly implemented, an open space, however, promotes cooperation and not the volume, it supports the communication between colleagues instead of individual ones, and contributes to more flexibility and commitment in the workplace.
