Whether you are looking for a new job or planning to stay put, plan for a few of the major trends that will affect your workplace and thus your career.
Enjoying Automation and Data
Your current boss and future hiring manager will value you more if you are comfortable with technology. As every firm looks at increasing automation and going digital in 2019, can you leverage automation to boost your output? Can you read the data available to generate insights and tell a useful story?
Communicate Better
The largest skill gap in the job market is communication. Your employer will place a higher premium on your team member who can do a great job of speaking with other teams, writing that report and making a presentation at a meeting. You can consciously invest in these skills too.

Lead A Team
If you want to grow faster in 2019, apart from better communication, step up and help others in your team, offer to improve processes and take ownership of delivering team outcomes. Leadership is always in short supply and your employer’s need is greater in times of rapid change.
Aspire Maximum Impact
What’s that part of your role that delivers maximum impact? Either you are involved in creating the product or asset or at improving the process by which your firm becomes more efficient. Product approach and process thinking are the two complementary skills that will boost your career this year. If you do only what was specified and refuse to work as per the expectations of your team, your annual rating will always be “Below Expectations”.
Make use of Web and Social Media
No firm operates in a vacuum. The Internet and social media make sure of that. Thus, firms both old and new need you to have basic social media skills and be web savvy to stay ahead of the game. If you are in sales, you leverage these skills to generate leads and increase business. In all other roles, you tap resources and fresh ideas through your reach.
