Hey guys, allow me to introduce my office colleagues to you:
Let’s meet Andrew: His slogan is “See, I am Working !”
Next one is Peter: His slogan is “Follow the Instructions !”
Next colleague is Emily: Her slogan is “Let’s do it differently !”
Last one is Lara: Her slogan is “Love conquers all !”
I will give more details about Andrew, Peter, Emily, and Lara later. But first, let’s learn something important!
From a behavioral and work approach perspective, you will typically observe four types of employees in your office:
- Available Employees
- Productive Employees
- Efficient Employees
- Loyal Employees
1. Available Employees
These employees ensure they come to work on time and leave on time. However, during working hours, they do not necessarily contribute much value to the organization. Their main focus is simply waiting for the workday to end rather than being engaged in meaningful tasks.
They often spend time:
- Reading news portals and favorite political articles
- Scrolling through Facebook or checking Gmail frequently
- Taking multiple tea breaks
- Socializing with colleagues all day long
They always give the impression of “look busy, do less.”
👉 Andrew belongs to the “Available Employees” category, which is why his slogan is “See, I am working !”
2. Productive Employees
These employees focus on getting their tasks done according to company standards. They take occasional work breaks, but they are not irresponsible. They follow company policies, meet deadlines, and ensure that things run smoothly within the organization.
👉 Peter is a Productive Employee, hence his slogan “Follow the Instructions !”
3. Efficient Employees
These are the individuals who do not just follow procedures—they challenge existing processes and look for ways to improve them. They seek smarter, faster, and more innovative solutions that enhance productivity.
👉 Emily belongs to this category, making her slogan “Let’s do it differently !”
4. Loyal Employees
Loyal employees are deeply committed to the organization. They go beyond their job descriptions and work with passion. They believe in teamwork, leadership, and fostering a positive work culture. They are problem-solvers and always strive to bring harmony and progress to the workplace.
👉 Lara is a Loyal Employee, which is why her slogan is “Love conquers all !”
Final Thoughts
Every workplace has a mix of these four types of employees. Recognizing these categories can help managers and organizations create strategies to improve efficiency, boost morale, and enhance overall productivity.
Now, tell me, which type of employee are you? 😊
