How to deal with lack of recognition at work? |

When in the work environment you don’t feel valued, the dignity that they say is linked to work goes down the drain. Many factors can influence how you face lack of recognition at work. How to deal with it?

Let’s start with some questions:

what is happening for you to conclude that you are not being valued? did a colleague promote you and not yours? are they criticizing your activities? are they not praising your work?

Other People’s Deals

It is important to clarify that you can question what were the criteria for promotion to the position and not why someone else was promoted and you were not.

When criticism is of your work, ask them to be really punctual, what exactly is not good and how you can improve. Clarify that it is important for you to be told when your work is well done.

Many times we “assume” that people recognize that we know that our work has value and that everything remains in the imagination and nobody speaks openly about what actually happens.

This can generate many doubts and erroneous conclusions about what is really happening. It is by talking that people understand each other. When the dialogue is clear, again talking about the situation, pointing out what is being challenging for both parties and how they can resolve and act.

It is always important to clarify. Often, our temperament can be influencing our view of the situation. The ups and downs at work can affect your self-esteem and make you doubt your potential. Here you can learn about a therapy to help you awaken your potential.

If you’re the type to get hot easily, you’ll see everything as criticism. If you handle it more coolly, you can mull over it too much and lose perspective and conclude that you don’t get appreciation, period.

Why are you at this job?

How to deal with all this? It found that it is really not valued. So, think about this, why are you in this location? The salary, the job itself, location facilities. Are your actions at work to please the standard, customer or personal satisfaction?

Reassess your conduct. Am I really doing what my job requires? Now they are demanding much more to increase productivity in a win-lose relationship. When the company wins your dedication and you lose with your health, then it’s time to reevaluate your stay in that place.

Respect is important in any work environment. Both for himself and in relation to his colleagues, other members of the company and customers. When you value your actions, you don’t need recognition from others.

Self-worth is something intrinsic and does not need others to praise you. At this time, knowing your temperament is more sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic or melancholic (take the test here) helps you understand that your way of seeing the situation has more to do with your temperament and takes the weight off the situation. Because his analysis is more cautious, based on self-knowledge.

Lack of recognition at work: who is responsible?

When you do your best and your boss or colleagues don’t appreciate it, it has more to do with their attitude than the value of your work itself. Here again I reinforce the idea, do your best not in return for recognition, but because your action makes a difference in your workplace.

At that moment, think about the act, what I’m doing best and not about the “actors” the people around me. Because everyone has their own way of dealing with situations, often the lack of demonstration of recognition can be in an act of not finding it necessary, not realizing that a more declared recognition is important for you.

Therefore, it is not a personal act against you, but a personal action due to the person’s regular way of acting.

I suggest doing your best, believe me there’s always someone watching. And from this observation, great job opportunities can arise and you can feel accomplished with what you do.
