Employee Value Addition ..

"Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without integrity, you really want them to be dumb and lazy"
- Warren Buffett

A Value Proposition is a promise of value to be delivered and acknowledged. It is also a belief from the customer how value (benefit) will be delivered and experienced. “A business is a value delivery system”, that defines value proposition as “a clear, simple statement of the benefits, both tangible and intangible, that the company will provide, along with the approximate price it will charge each customer segment for those benefits”.

The value proposition is to differentiate the brand from competitors. It convinces a potential consumer that one particular product or service will add more value or better solve a problem than other similar offerings. Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is the balance of the rewards and benefits that are received by employees in return for their performance at the workplace.

Every employee should add value to the team/organization that they are serving. Value addition is all about filling the gaps that team/organization has at that point of time. Value addition is 100% context based. Your value is always assessed based on your contribution to the team. Your past value addition is no guarantee for your future value addition. It's always based on current context(eco system).


If an employee is not adding value to the team then it's a clear indication that - 

    1. Figure out the value to be unlocked in the same team and excel in it.

    2. Employee has to look out for a job in another team in the current company where his value can be appreciated.

    3. Shift to another company where you can add value.
    
    4. Believe in yourself and start own company.

How to add value to your employer -

    1. Create BRAND for yourself - Accept the most difficult task in your team, Excel in it. You got to be the Go-To person in your team during critical times.
    
    2. Invest in yourself - Upgrade yourself to the latest trends and figure out how those skills can be used best in your current job. The Go-Getter of the team.
    
    3. Talk less and do more - Do not waste time in justifying what you think is RIGHT. Just do it and show the results as results speak out louder than words.
    
    4. Be proactive - Do not ever miss a chance to express your opinions. Do not be a doormat in the team. Always remember the big picture and align yourself to what is CRITICAL to your team.

    5. Respect team - Everyone wants to be appreciated. It's the basic need for human beings to be appreciated. It feels good and makes us wanted. Never disrespect your team members. Everyone has a place to add value to the team.

    6. Make yourself predictable - Predictable delivery of work increases management's confidence in you. Drive and execute to get work done before deadline dates. Deliver than expected. Managing the expectations is the KEY.

    7. Be a Mentor - Share your experiences with other team members. Learn from other's success/failure. Increase your circle of influence by mentoring people in your team/organization.
