6 WAYS TO EMPOWER
YOUR COWORKERS
Setting people up for success can have lasting impacts on their career,
and by extension the culture of your workplace.
MENTOR SOMEONE
You've likely had someone
help you when you were
new at a job. Paying that
forward and imparting
your hard-earned
experiential knowledge
can be the difference
between a newcomer
sticking around long-term
or not. In return, they
might teach you the cool
new swear words.
PASS ALONG PRAISE
Telling someone they've
done a good job feels
great. But sharing the
feedback with that
person's manager could
contribute to their career
advancement. In addition
to ensuring they get credit
for the work, they also get
the benefit of the esteem
of their coworkers. It's like
gossip, except nice and
workplace appropriate.
TEACH THEM SOMETHING
If a coworker regularly
asks for your help because
of specific technical
knowledge you have, use
it as an opportunity to give
them a quick crash course
on the topic. It's like teach
a man to fish, the outcome
being Excel proficiency.
PARTNER UP ON A PROJECT
If you have a colleague that you'd like to
see receive recognition, you can facilitate
the situation by asking them to work with
you on an initiative, whether it's a simple
staff event, a charitable activity or a new
idea for the business. Think of it as the
business equivalent of playing wingman
for your recently dumped friend.
BE A GOOD LISTENER
When a coworker's been especially
stressed out, it can help to get out of the
office, grab a coffee and let them vent. A
lot of time, letting them get something off
their chest will allow them to get their head
back in the game. Though if they're really
wound up, make those coffees decaf.
TAKE SOMETHING OFF
SOMEONE'S PLATE
When someone's been
swamped and seem like
they could use a hand,
ask if you can take care of
something for them. Better
yet, just do it. Something
as small as unjamming the
printer can stop a bad day
from spiraling and allow
your colleague to refocus
on the task at hand. And
while you're fighting with
the printer, you'll get to
try out those cool swear
words you just learned.
