In this guide, we are going to talk about how important job sustainability is and what steps need to be taken

Knowing Your JD:

Job Description must be well documented and be presented upon your successful employment It is a piece of document which are the demands of the organization and what they want from you, candidate must thoroughly go through it and understand it properly, there may be such task for which you need training or education, the candidate should always go through this tricky/difficult task so that they won’t be a problem for them when their performance will be reviewed against their JD’s. Competency against Jd’s is also crucial which shows your ability to perform the core job for which you are hired.

Knowing Your Boss:

Knowing your Immediate Line managers/Boss is a must, understanding his/her temperament, what they want from you, their reporting procedures, how strict they are regarding work, and what they expect from you, these are few things you are not going to assess quickly, as it will take time but it is very important to know your boss and his/her requirements from you, there may be something extra they want you to perform apart from your JD’s make sure it’s legal and aligned with the goal of the organization.

Knowing the Culture:

Knowledge of the Cultural fit of the organization is very important for an individual to sustain the job, if the culture promotes extroversion and openness, it will be a little difficult for an introvert to handle it easily (and Vice e versa) but it is important to have complete knowledge of the culture of the organization as soon as possible to handle the difficult part calmly, the culture of the organization also shows how things worked in the organization what informal ways are there that must be adopted and are not against the objective of the organization, individual strong observational skill is needed to measure the culture of the organization

Knowing Your Team:

In this era of Digital revolution team collaboration is much need effort which sound easy but it can be one of the most difficult part of someone’s jobs, knowing your team, key position, their nature, how each team player responds to collective work assignments is much needed information for a new joiner to perform his/her job effectively and efficiently, one or 2 month work end cycle can determine this and you will get to know who is the most difficult person to deal with and then you can strategize how to deal with him, this is an important step many people fail to strategize for such individual and then their own performance suffer because of them, you need to understand this, starting few months are actually a honeymoon period for a new joiner in this period no one will take you serious, your mistakes will be overlooked, and you will be given a free hand, but this is the time which you do not have to waste, you need to understand your team and their requirements and what part you are going to play for collective work submission.

Knowing what not to do:

Every organization has some rules, policies, and formal and informal ways to conduct the office, it is important to know these in advance and try not to break them knowingly or unknowingly, many reckless employees breaks these rules quite often without understanding what will be the consequences in future, it is important to adhere all the rules regarding your jobs, you can be termed as a non-serious person in no time and it can affect overall your job growth.
