Nine Habits of Successful Office Support Workers

Those who are successful in office support jobs in London don’t just get there by accident. They cultivate various habits that make them successful. And if you know what these habits are, you can emulate them! Our London recruitment agency is in the unique position of being able to share some of those winning habits with you.

1. They schedule pretty much everything

   Whatever their specific job title, office support workers spin many plates. The only way to manage time effectively, and give everything the time it needs is to schedule everything and stick to that schedule. Successful people are list-makers, and they’re constantly zipping in and out of their online calendar.

2. They prioritise continuously

   However, whilst they may be list-makers and scheduling pros, the best office support workers aren’t set in stone. They review their lists multiple times a day to ensure that they’re on track and have their priorities spot on. As a result, nothing is left to the last minute, and everything has its space.

3. They focus unrelentingly

   The most successful individuals in office support aren’t multi-taskers. They prioritise, and then they focus on the task in hand, being more productive in the process.

4. They take a “good enough” approach, not a perfectionist one

   There’s always something more you can do. However, successful office support workers aren’t perfectionists who get caught up taking too long on one thing to the detriment of everything else. Instead, they do things well and to the required standard for efficiency and productivity.

5. They look ahead

   Successful people plan. They don’t come into work each morning not knowing what’s coming their way or on the agenda. They’ve set out a plan so that deadlines are met and very little comes as a surprise.

6. They take responsibility

   Successful people aren’t afraid to put their name to something because they allow the buck to stop with them, taking responsibility for what they do. They take consequences on the chin and use them to improve. The flip side is that they will take the praise when it’s due too.

7. They look after themselves

   It’s not accidental that the most successful people are also those who tuck into an unprocessed, homemade lunchbox, arrive in their running gear, and seem well rested. They know that looking after their well-being is one way to be on top of their game and achieve peak performance. They have the energy to perform well because they work at it.

8. They are positive

   Those who succeed tend to have a positive and optimistic outlook. They don’t ruminate on problems; they seek out solutions in the belief that they can find them. Their positive thinking is infectious, and people gravitate towards them.

9. They show appreciation

   In office support, you’re not working in a vacuum. Those who do well recognise that they’re surrounded by others who are the scaffolding to their success. They show appreciation to others for what they do and as a result, those people are more willing to help them again.

10. They take opportunities and chances

The various roles that make up office support jobs in London are immensely varied and also competitive. Those who succeed know that they have to make their own success. For example, they will take temporary jobs if they see the opportunity to build a new area of skills.
