How can Punctuality impact Career Growth

Hi All,

We all know that managing time and being punctual is very important.But,we rarely follow it.We never think that Punctuality can have both positive and negative impact on our Career.If we are Punctual at work we would never have to face delays in achieving success.

Punctuality is a quality that is most appreciated and admired by everyone.Yet,there are very few people who follow punctuality.Not being punctual does not only create a negative impression,it also affects the career negatively and leads to a stressful life,due to poor time management.

Being punctual is not as complicated as it sounds.Infact a few easy steps can ensure that you become punctual at work.

1)Always arrive early rather than being just on time.Plan ahead so that you dont have to waste time on planning tasks on a daily basis.By arriving before time you will be able to complete your tasks on time.

2)Prepare a time schedule where you would allot time for each task both concerned with your work and home.If you do so,you will find that you spend less time on unnecessary tasks and this will help you to be more productive.

3)In order to be on time at work,prepare yourself the night before.Keep aside the things that you need to carry with you at your workplace so that you dont have to search for them the next morning.

4)Make an early start,wake up early in the morning,so that you can sort out your tasks accordingly.

5)People perceive you by your behaviour so make sure you are punctual.Not being punctual is viewed as laziness and indiscipline.

6)If you arrive at work before time you will be viewed with respect.Your seniors will not have much to complain about you.

7)If you are punctual,you will find yourself in a better mood.People who are late to work,are often found to be in a bad and agitated mood.

8)Even if you are good at work,if you are not punctual,your work loses all its credibility.

Therefore,if you feel that you are not punctual,its high time you start working on it.Soon you will find a difference in your productivity as you will find your tasks being completed on time/before time.So,be punctual and help yourself in your career growth.

This is what I try and relay to my workers. Punctuality shows dedication and helps things go better. If you are punctual your boss may see you as a better fit for a job or spot that opens up as well as you having more time to do work.

At my office we use a timesheet management software from GHG and it is fantastic. It actually is so good, that more the amount of workers being late rapidly decreased.
