1.Enjoy Criticism

Employees on their way to the top understand the value of constructive criticism. Whether it is directed from client or internally. It is an opportunity for growth and can also help them to do better. The focus is on constructive.

2.Resilient

Successful employees are resilient, they do not allow set-backs and upsets to throw them off kilter. They manage to right the ship so to speak and carry on.

3.Innovation

Good employees are innovative. They understand the old ways of doing things and suggest new ways of doing it. They are not afraid to stand up for new ideas and change.

4.Understand The Importance of Teamwork

We all say we want to be a team-player, but do we know really what that means? It means rooting for your colleague, helping fellow workers and being willing to do more than your job description.

5.Stay focused

A sound employee stays focused even when things go askew. They manage to stay focused on that which is important.

6.Are Good With Details

Good employees can spot mistakes and uphold good detail. Imagine if a great company with a great workforce had a spelling mistake on their Internet site. Would you want this company to work for you?

7.Speak Well and Clearly

A great employee also speaks well and clearly. Many employees are singled out for their ability to communicate and to deliver speeches well. These are the future leaders.

8.Dress Smart or Not

Smart employees look the part. They understand the brand and live it. That means dressing and grooming to your company standard and brand whatever that may be.

9.Self Motivated

As an employee it is up to you to determine if you have a job or a career. Success depends on whether you are self motivated. Companies are long past the 'give me your time I'll pay you a buck routine'. School days are also long over. Being self motivated is key. Find opportunities wherever you can and strike.

10.Hard Working

Contrary to what that sounds like, hard work means more, arriving on time, being available, being willing and also being willing to help your fellow employees. Whenever you join a company you might have to work hard, before you can then work smart.

11.Being Positive

Companies get to know who stands around the coffee machine moaning about everything. They also get to know who is valuable in their workforce. Stay positive and if you ain't got nothing positive to say, don't say anything.

12.Easy Going

Employees undergo great amounts of stress, both for the company, their own lives and also the targets they are given. Not to mention the clients they might have to please. The best personality for this type of pressure is an easy going one. When the going gets tough the easy going leader is the one that wins.

13.Leadership

Great employees know that the secret to a great workforce is sound leadership. Leadership styles can vary and no two leaders are alike. However, they do all have certain characteristics like, being able to inspire people to follow, being a great listener and also commitment to theirs and the companies goals.
