BOSTON - BostonChron -- Lynn Bentley, President of Knobull announced, "Earning a promotion enables you to assume a more important role in your company, earn a higher salary and gain a heightened sense of accomplishment. To effectively advance your career within your company, you will need to have excellent work performance and catch your supervisors' attention."

If you want to earn a promotion, you will need to think about what your company wants from you. Every employer wants their employees to contribute to the value of the company. Making a conscious effort to add value with high impact and clearly measured accomplishments is one of the best ways to get promoted at work.

While working hard is important, your efforts may go unnoticed if you never put yourself in a visible position. As you work toward higher positions, you will need to continually improve your leadership, technical, productivity enhancement and interpersonal skills.

Look around the work place for things that are impeding productivity, generating unnecessary costs, undermining workplace safety or preventing the company from achieving its goals. Set goals to bring solutions to your manager rather than pointing out problems.

By keeping your mind clear and focused at all times, you can deliver consistent results and minimize your chances of making mistakes. You will also help your team members be positive, resulting in a more conducive work environment for everyone.

Bentley concluded, "You need to be continuously motivated to maintain the necessary effort to stay on course toward promotion. When you know exactly why you are striving for a move forward, you will probably find it easier to work hard. The Knobull team provides a full range of tools that address these critical success factors!"
