Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why not every good worker has to be a superstar
An average worker is a person who meets expectations and does the job right– nothing more or less. If a person can do the job well, why doesn’t he or she want to do more or better? One reason is that many workers don’t want to stand out or take more responsibilities because they have other priorities, such as family and other interests. In fact, just fulfilling a job description, nothing more or less, also means that the employee is meeting most of the expectations and requirements for the job. Such employees should never be undervalued in the organization in order for a team or company as a whole to be successful. Actually, consistency, dependability, and continuity are all essential factors to achieve sustainable growth and average workers are the essential driving force. However, those mediocre workers are often not recognized enough and often become discouraged and may look for another job. When you lose such a valuable employee, you’ll find it hard to find a perfect average worker. Indeed, a worker who does the job just right is hard to replace. They should be recognized and appreciated for meeting the expectations. If you lose such an employee, you’ll then have to post the job, screen applications, interview candidates, and you may or may not find one who may or may not be compatible with the person you lost. And it takes your time and extra burden on others’ shoulders until the position is filled. Indeed, replacement cost is much more expensive than rewarding average employees to keep them motivated more often.
Though AI and robotics are taking many jobs, it is still essential to keep and motivate average performers within the organization.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about how valuable average workers are for any team or organization.
