Mistakes at Workplace

Most of us are working very hard in our lives and careers. Everyone tries to improve their work and performance at workplace and this attitude helps in quickly getting to the goals. Our organization is also benefited by this kind of work culture. But sometimes in spite of our many qualities we are pointed out due to the mistakes we do. This is actually human nature to notice mistakes before achievements. In fact we are analyzed according to the mistakes that we do.
Many times our mistakes are forgiven at our company but do not make the mistake of taking your mistakes lightly. You must not repeat that mistake for which you are pointed out. Mistakes when done for the first time are often forgiven but when they happen repeatedly then the company can take strict action.

Mistakes Can Be Corrected
Many times employees do mistakes when sending e-mails and proposals. So it is always advised to proof read those mails again for any errors. Apart from spell checks take care of other things like formatting and completeness of the mail. It is very obvious to do mistakes at work, but instead of panicking we should think about ways to correct that mistake.

Mistakes Have their Price
There is a price that has to be paid for each mistake we do and it is foolish to try to hide them. So it is always better to take responsibility of your actions. Every company expects from its employees that they will immediately report any mistakes and errors to the management so that they can be corrected while there is still time.

Punishment to Send Message
Most of the time mistakes are forgiven and forgotten by the company but sometimes employees do get punished in various ways for their mistakes. This punishment is mainly for the purpose sending message to other employees so that they take extra precautions.

What to do when mistakes are done

• Always tell your seniors about any mistake that you have done, do not wait for them to find it out.
• Do not blame others for your mistakes, it is human nature to do so but you should be responsible for your work.
• Suggest ways to correct your mistake, by that way your seniors will think that you are honestly trying to do some good.
• When you do any mistake then take it as a chance to learn something new, learn from your mistakes so that you may never repeat them.

Have a Balanced Work Life

Everyone wants to have a balance between work and personal life. But many times it becomes very difficult to separate personal and professional life. Due to this we think of home at work and of work at home. If you are also going through this then here are some tips to help you:

Manage Yourself
When we talk about balancing home and work then first of all we should think about time management. If you are spending more time at the office then it does not mean that you are more productive. So we must understand job discipline and should stop wasting time in excessive gossips and coffee breaks.

Make Priorities
You can be successful by not having balance between personal and professional life but you may never be happy in this routine of life. To achieve that happiness you must concentrate on four things:-work, family, friends and yourself. If you can manage to handle all four of these and are also disciplined at the same time, then you can be both successful and happy.

Do What Interests You
Many times we should do other things of interest apart from work. Stop worrying about work when you are with family and friends. Be relaxed during work and make a habit to enjoy everything.

Learn to Say No
It is good to take initiative and do something but many times it is better to simply say no to things that you think you are not fully capable of doing. Saying no to your boss and co-workers will not necessarily affect your carrer in a bad way.

Enjoy Your Work
Always think clearly about the kind of work you want to do before joining any job. If you are enjoying your work then stress will stay away from you and you will have your balance of personal and professional life.

Boss! I Need a Leave

When ever we want to take a leave from work then we make some excuses or give applications for that. But we keep worrying if we will get the leave or not. Well there are some ways to get your leave approved.

Complete your work on or before time
If you want leave for some days then its important to finish your work before time and then talk with your boss. It is also beneficial to do your work more effectively when your boss is on leave.

Company Policy
There are policies for taking leaves in every company. You should have complete knowledge about the paid leaves and leaves for other reasons like medical etc. Many companies have the policy to lapse the leaves if you don't take them. So you must make wise decisions about them.

Boss is always right
If work load is more in your company then discuss with your boss about your schedule,results, meetings, deliveries etc before applying for leaves. Then talk about taking the leave and let him decide and adjust your work load accordingly and by this you will also be relieved from unnecessary tension and anxiety.

Create backup
When going on a long leave and there are less employees availabe then make sure to have the backup of your work prepared. This will help your boss to have your work when its needed and you will get your leave easily.


Many times other employees also apply for a leave at the same time with you, mostly on festive seasons. So its better to adjust your leaves according to the work load. Understand the situation and do what s required from you.
