With just 6 weeks into the New Year, around this time people reevaluate their New Year\u2019s Resolutions.\u00a0 Either they are committed to seeing them through or they decide to give it a try at a later date.\u00a0 This is also the time that people re-evaluate their jobs and make decisions about whether to remain with their current company or pursue other opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you fall in the category of pursing other opportunities here are some things to consider as you decide to make the move.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Job satisfaction <\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We spend 70% of our time at work, often more time than we spend with our families on a daily basis.\u00a0 How fulfilling is work for you?\u00a0 Are you still excited to come to work every day, or do you find yourself waiting for your next day off?\u00a0 Let me say this.\u00a0 \u201cJob satisfaction is a two-way street.\u201d\u00a0 While you want your employer to provide a work environment that is engaging it also up to you to be fully engaged.\u00a0 What does this mean.\u00a0 Well if at sometime you find that you no longer get the same enjoyment, and you don\u2019t see that changing, it may be time to look for other opportunities.\u00a0 \u201cA disengaged employee no matter how good the company environment will not be a productive, or happy employee.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Life work integration<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Previously called \u201cwork, life, balance\u201d is important so that the time we do spend with our families is quality time that is guilt free.\u00a0 You can\u2019t give your best to anything if you are constantly torn and feel that life is passing you by.\u00a0 I happen to love the European idea of holiday.\u00a0 We call it vacation and they call it a holiday. Holiday makes it feel like a special time.\u00a0 There will be days that the job gets your all, but there will also be days where family comes first, and that\u2019s okay too.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Work relationships<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        There is no substitute for working in an environment where people respect each other, like each other and work together as a team.\u00a0 This is something that can\u2019t be over looked.\u00a0 I have seen people leave their current company for a different position, or for more compensation, only to regret later because the relationships were so different.\u00a0 Let\u2019s not forget that people work for people so if you have an amazing boss that supports you and can help you grow within your current company, that is something to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Career Advancement<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Often times people think of career advancement as straight up and vertical.\u00a0 I\u2019ve watched people clamor for the opportunity to move up within the company only to realize once they receive the promotion that it is not what they thought it would be.\u00a0 Sometimes increasing skillset and a lateral move can be more rewarding.\u00a0 Most people really want to be challenged.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Acknowledgement <\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            We all want to feel valued and appreciated.\u00a0 Feel that we are contributing to something worthwhile.\u00a0 When that happens, morale is high and something magical occurs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            It\u2019s called fulfillment and happiness, and isn\u2019t that what we are all looking for at the end of the day?\u00a0\u00a0New Year, new goals.\u00a0 Where will your goals lead you?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
