A Value Added Employee

A Value Added Employee

You add value to this institution. Period. A good value comes when something is gained at a rate greater than the numerical or technical cost. Being minimally effective is not even an option in this highly competitive and consistently fast-paced environment we work in. I value what you do and who you are. According to a blogpost on this topic by Jay Forte at Mindflash.com, an employee adds value when she knows the organization, knows her strengths, takes initiative to find opportunities and solve problems and focuses on the bottom line and the core mission of the institution.  Oscar Wilde said, “Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” My, my. How times haven’t changed. Except that I know how much it costs this institution to employ you, and I DO know that your unique perspectives and background in addition to your hard work and intelligence add great value. This institution matters in the lives of our students and community because what you do and who you are matters to this institution. Thank you!
