1 Identify your goals

Before you try to impress your boss, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. Do you want a raise, a promotion, more responsibility, or more autonomy? How do you measure your success and impact? What are the expectations and standards of your role and your organization? Having specific and realistic goals will help you focus your efforts and communicate your value.

In workplaces, there are two key players: the employer and the employee. The employer's aim is to maximise productivity and revenues. Employees are focused on advancing their careers and securing salary increases. Here are three essential steps for employees to stand out in the workplace: Assess your value: Conduct an analysis of both local and global market trends to understand your worth. Evaluate your contributions: Determine your value to the company based on your skills, experience, and network. Align your objectives: Ensure that your personal goals align with the company's objectives. As an entrepreneur, I highly value employees who assertively assert their worth and actively contribute to the company's success.

2 Gather evidence

One of the best ways to prove your worth to your boss is to show them the facts. Collect data and examples that demonstrate how your work contributes to the organization's goals and mission. For instance, you can track metrics such as sales, revenue, customer satisfaction, quality, productivity, or innovation. You can also document your achievements, such as completing projects, solving problems, improving processes, or learning new skills. Make sure you have concrete and verifiable evidence that supports your claims.

3 Seek feedback

Another way to prove your worth to your boss is to ask for their feedback. Feedback can help you understand your boss's perspective, expectations, and priorities. It can also help you identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges. You can seek feedback in various ways, such as having regular check-ins, requesting performance reviews, or asking for specific advice. Be open-minded, respectful, and appreciative when you receive feedback, and use it to improve your work and relationship with your boss.

4 Showcase your skills

A third way to prove your worth to your boss is to showcase your skills. Skills are the abilities and knowledge that enable you to perform your work effectively and efficiently. You can showcase your skills by taking on challenging tasks, volunteering for new initiatives, collaborating with others, or sharing your expertise. You can also showcase your skills by learning new ones, such as taking courses, attending workshops, or reading books. By showcasing your skills, you can demonstrate your competence, confidence, and growth potential.

It is important to first do a skills audit and demonstrably use acquired skills and competencies, that the employers want, which sets you apart from the rest. Any job you land is skills oriented and recruitment and selection processes highly depend on the skills and competencies of the candidate. Hence showcasing your skills is the right ammunition to garner recognition by your current and potential employers. One can start by volunteering to assist others with assigned tasks, always completing assigned tasks before set deadlines, always willing to try new tasks and showing some level of accountability, informed decision making, managing challenges that come with assignments, and above all, proper reporting and acting

5 Communicate your value

A final way to prove your worth to your boss is to communicate your value. Communication is the process of exchanging information, ideas, and emotions with others. You can communicate your value by highlighting your accomplishments, expressing your opinions, asking for what you want, or negotiating for what you deserve. You can also communicate your value by being positive, proactive, and professional in your interactions with your boss and others. By communicating your value, you can increase your visibility, credibility, and influence.

Recognition like confidence and peace of mind should primarily come from within not externally. If you need recognition from your boss of a clap of hands from anyone else for doing a good job you’ll always be looking for external validation and never be happy no matter the role or the salary.

To garner the recognition you deserve, start by setting clear personal and professional goals aligning with your organization's objectives. Accumulate evidence of your accomplishments and actively seek feedback to understand how your contributions are perceived. Showcase your skills through high-impact projects, and don't hesitate to communicate your achievements and their impact on the company's success. If recognition still eludes you, escalate the matter respectfully with data and examples of your value, ensuring that your efforts are both seen and acknowledged.
