A conscientious worker is tremendously prized by a forward-thinking employer. Perhaps even more than talented, creative or super professional. A smart employer understands: a person who is responsible for his job, who performs it efficiently and diligently, not from time to time, but from day to day - this is the very foundation on which any business is based.
Functional responsibilities
A conscientious attitude to work is primarily determined by whether a person is responsible for his job duties, how competently and professionally he performs them. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly study all the subtleties and nuances of your job description, find out what functions you need to perform in your position, and ensure that each point is strictly observed and executed without errors, misfires and misunderstandings.
But you should not limit yourself to this. Although there is a well-known saying about the punishability of initiative, the employer, as a rule, does not favor employees too much who, under no circumstances, do not want to do something outside the scope of their immediate duties.
A conscientious employee not only willingly responds to such requests from his superiors, but also thinks about how to make his work more efficient. Proposals for improving the "workflow", if they are sufficiently thought out and justified, will not go unnoticed by the bosses, and the manager will have a reason to celebrate the employee who came up with a timely and useful initiative.
Labor discipline
It is unthinkable to become a conscientious worker without observing elementary labor discipline. Of course, circumstances develop in different ways, but are there many people who have never allowed themselves to be late for no good reason or to take time off from work on personal matters, if they had such an opportunity?
For a conscientious worker, such "indulgences" are unacceptable. Whatever happens in his life, he must show up at work on time and leave it not earlier than the appointed hour, observe the rules of conduct and dress code adopted in his organization, and, of course, prevent other violations of labor discipline.
This is not so easy to implement, especially if the organization has a rather loose attitude towards labor discipline. But the more reliable, responsible and stable will look in the eyes of the employer a person who complies with all the requirements, and not out of necessity, but "at the call of the heart."
Intrinsic motivation
And, of course, becoming a conscientious worker is almost impossible without intrinsic motivation. Conscientious attitude to their duties is beneficial for the employee himself. By setting specific goals, for example, career growth or raising one's professional level, and systematically working to achieve them, a conscientious employee can achieve greater heights than one who is used to taking any heights "at a swoop."
Thus, if a conscientious attitude towards one's duties becomes for a person not just a necessity, but a kind of "step" to achieve the goals set for oneself, a responsible attitude to work will become an inner need of a person and gradually become a habit, which, as you know, is a "second in kind ".
