In these intuiging times many people are wondering how they should be behaving at work. Our advice is to stay put, especially if you have been employed for more than a year as you then have employment protection. Think about your employers' strategy and work out how you can add most value and find a senior mentor to find opportunities for you on long term projects which are vital to your organisation and will build capability for the future. One of the most naive things you can do is ask for a pay rise at the current time, one of the best things is to keep developing yopurself and your talents, keep networking and become indispensible. This may be a time to study and gain further qualifications, demonstrate your committment and contribute to your future, become part of a virtual action learning set, gain credits for competence or work based learning and get a Masters degree. Whatever happens, keep yourself marketable. This so-called recession is hyped up by the media and while waiting on the bench we need to keep fit to play in a challenging and vibrant future.

Actively seeking ways to improve your own performance not only benefits the company but also builds your self confidence and makes you a more marketable commodity should you wish to gain promotion at a later date
