Why Employees Should Do Frequent Priority Checks to Showcase Work Better?

Everyone does the work but not everyone gets the due credit. Sound familiar! Sadly, this is the sentiment of many employees in India. We read so much about work culture, and ethics, and hear motivational speeches of leaders, but does this help? Taking action on a personal level helps.

What do you mean by frequent priority checks?

Sometimes we get entangled in many tracks and lose focus. We try to complete all tasks.

Sometimes we are so much confused, we lose our sanity and try to spread thin in all directions.

Both above scenarios are dangerous for work productivity and career growth. At this time, prioritization of tasks is important to reflect on the Quarterly target. Even if you are an early-stage IT professional having 2-3 years of experience, you would have some KPIs for performance goals. Always ensure that your work fulfils those KPIs. 

Having quarterly checks on work priority and your role in the team will ensure that you are walking on the right path. For example, Publicis Sapient Bangalore's work culture is an open culture where people can change projects and domains internally based on their aspirations. However, having a yearly goal plan and quarterly progress checks are critical for successful completion.

How can priority checks help in showcasing work better?

Once you have reprioritized your project/goal for next quarter, you know the KPIs client is expecting clearly. Hence you can focus on meeting those criteria with flying colours. Also, project prioritization helps in learning necessary tasks and keeps you focused on major tasks. You will clearly articulate important emails and conversations to show your impact on the project. Once you have direction on the desired outcome. Having a frequent one-to-one conversation with your team leaders and managers play an important role as well.

I have seen many people in Publicis Sapient working here for the past 10 years. My question for this is how come they have stayed in an organization for so long? Their answer remains work culture and priority checks for career transformation. Hence, for long-term success, priority checks are critical.
