A lot of people assume that doing good work is enough for others to notice it. In a busy workplace, that’s not always the case.

When you finish something important, give a short update that covers three things:

What was the problem? What did you do? What was the result?

It doesn’t have to be a long explanation or a way of showing off. Just make the useful part of your work easy to understand.

For example, instead of saying, “The report is fixed,” say, “I found the incorrect figures, corrected them, and the final numbers now match the source data.”

It takes less than a minute, but gives people a much clearer idea of what you actually contributed.

Good work is important. Making your work easy to understand is part of the job too.
