Standing Out Above the Crowd: How to Toot Your Own Horn
As with all resources, smart businesses want to maximize the return on the investment they’ve made in you; this is why you’re occasionally sent to training courses, quality management seminars, conferences, and the like. Now, it may seem crass to apply the term “Return on Investment” to a human being, but like it or not, your human talent and experience are
resources. Unlike all other resources, however, you can make a conscious effort to improve your ROI, to make yourself more valuable to the company by refining your best qualities until you stand out above the crowd.
The standard ROI for most workers runs about three times your annual salary: in other words, that’s how much you should earn your
organization. That’s easy if you handle big corporate accounts; you just have to land one to more than meet your ROI. But if you work in HR or manage a manufacturing division, it may not prove as easy to demonstrate your ROI. You can, however, measure your worth by the extent to which you improve the organization, or by how much the good hires you’ve made or the members of your team have accomplished. Once you’ve weighed all that, you can decide how to improve your PROI, and what to focus
on. Consider these five things while doing so.
