What is the basis for promotions and pay evaluations?
An intelligent person should be able to figure that out either via instinct or through careful thought and planning. However, I was surprised by my written list of things answering the question: What have you done outside your role to help the company as a whole? to demonstrate the core values of the company? Its not something I'd stop and think about voluntarily but is advice I'd offer to a younger me. Luckily, my instinct for taking on as much as I possibly can lends itself well toward the appearance (with evidence) that I am proactive within my company.
Examples include:
1) Volunteer Work
2) Increased Ownership of Company
3) Training
4) Recruiting
5) Acting as a subject matter expert
6) Participating in communities of practice
I think a wise thing to do would be to sit down each week and do this evaluation along side the evaluation for: How have I made my Boss's job easier this week?
