Are You Attending Company Employee Functions
Bosses are always looking for ways to build morale among employees. One way that they do this is to try to get people into a social environment outside of the regular workplace. That is part of the reason behind the company functions that you may have been invited to at various points in your life.
You can tell the dedicated employees from the not so dedicated employees by paying attention to which ones attend these functions. The people who just come to work for the paycheck usually scoff at the idea of attending one of these afterhours’ parties or retirement dinners. They sure as heck don’t want to go to some vendor sponsored event where they feel like they have to schmooze the whole time they are there.
You know exactly what I am talking about, don’t you? I guarantee it.
The dedicated employee is the person with the attitude that it might be fun to get together with people after work. He is the type of person who wants to get to know the other people he works with. The better he understands them, the easier it will be to communicate with them on the job. The better they communicate with each other, the better quality of work they will both produce.
People are so close minded when it comes to these types of functions. They think of them as if they were putting in extra unpaid overtime. That is not the attitude to have. If you want to earn more money from this company, then you had better commit yourself to it more than you currently are. Your true nature will always come through over a period of time.
The next time your company has one of these functions, maybe you should really make an effort to attend it. Keep a positive attitude about the event. Think of this as a way to separate yourself from the other slugs around the office who could care less about any of these things. The more outgoing you are, the more chances you have to get ahead with this company. It is that simple.
