That fresh New Year’s energy is right upon us. And it’s usually the time we start getting curious about our own next chapters or what we could be doing differently to be sure we’re living our best lives. Even a small change on the job front can have huge payoffs when you’re resetting and rebalancing your self-care, family, and career.
We’ve partnered with La Marca Prosecco to bring you a self-check on what change you might be ready to make to switch up your career trajectory so that you can step into the new year as your most empowered self. La Marca believes that we should celebrate those tiny, everyday moments—because they add up to elevating our whole life. Even if we’re not explicitly on the hunt for a new job opportunity, there are a number of ways we can level up our work experiences in 2022. So grab a coupe of bubbles and find out what action you should take at your job this year!
What length of time have you been in the current position?
When was the last time that you asked for a raise in your salary?
How excited are your current day-today activities?
How do you relate to your leadership?
Do your team values align well with yours?
Have you ever felt challenged at work?
How many of your coworkers would consider you friends?
What would your next career step look like?
It is time to ask for a raise.
You have a strong reputation and a large book of work. You are probably the glue that keeps your team together. You might have found yourself taking on more work this year or helping your colleagues through difficult life transitions. You might have used your down time to gain certifications or extend your education in a new area that supports professional development.
It sounds like you are ready to be better rewarded for your contributions through asking for that raise, additional benefits that are meaningful to you like a more flexible schedule, or family accommodations—or you can really spread your wings and ask for a more expanded set of responsibilities. Get that promotion! After you get it, toast your business’s savviness by enjoying a glass of La Marca Prosecco!
Time for a new opportunity in your company.
We’ve all been there. You’re comfortable and you’re pretty well settled in your groove. That can be a great thing. But if you’re feeling a little too comfortable, not challenged, or like you’ve just hit autopilot, you deserve a new chapter. Looking for a new opportunity at your same company can be a great way to leverage all the great social capital you’ve built over the years and your awesome network of useful internal relationships. Start the year by having a meeting with your boss to discuss the possibility of a new role, either in your current team or in a completely different area of the company. Make a vision board with La Marca Prosecco.
You’re crushing it. Deepen your expertise!
It may have taken you 18 months to reset and change your role or find a new job. Congratulations! Toast this moment with some La Marca Prosecco. This is a very exciting part of your professional journey. You feel challenged and new. You also start to establish routines and rituals which enhance the firm’s sense of belonging. Once you’ve made it past that first stretch of newness, it’s time to start deepening your expertise. You should be open to meeting people outside your immediate circle of work and to offer stretch projects that allow you to test out new areas of your business.
