EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes talks about the importance of being present and totally focused in your job.
You need to be present in life and in your career and feel a connection to your work. This breeds career longevity and success. The more you are “here,” the more you are also likely to keep your job when companies go through transitions or downsizing. If you are “here,” you may even find yourself getting a promotion, even in the most unlikely of times.
Passion and commitment are attributes people notice. They help build careers. The person who is “here” will always win over the person who is not.
Employers want enthusiasm and commitment. They want presence.
