Answer 1 :
Turning up on time, staying on until job is done if that means staying late, making suggestions for improvements, taking on extra tasks
Answer 2 :
the people that pay you want value from you in order to pay you more
Answer 3 :
Acting like you care, or even really caring and taking an interest in the well being of the company you work for, really caring, is noticed by employers and rewarded with promotion and responsibility. It's actually a very apt question, in my opinion. You manifest this by finishing jobs not just saying whatever and leaving things undone right at 5 PM - and by noticing things that may need fixing and bringing them to your supervisor's attention.
Answer 4 :
To show commitment and motivation at work shows ,that you care , about the job, and are focusing and working hard, motivation - getting early to work, doing the work , quickly, not talking alot commitment - getting the work done quickly , coming in everyday , coming in early Its very important , to do this it shows your the person sutied to the job, you can do the job, your a reaiable person , your running the business well , which is really important to keep its standards always running.
Answer 5 :
I think the best way you can show commitment and motivation towards your work is to "BE THERE". Let's face it, if you're not where you are, then where are you? When it's time to play, play. Likewise, when it's time to work, work. Emotionally invest yourself in it. Demonstrating commitment is easy...look for opportunities to improve things, be a problem solver. Why should you do this? There are the financial rewards that usually go along with a job well-done, but more importantly what you're doing is developing a strong reputation and that's priceless. Really BEING WHERE YOU ARE is an important character trait to have. It will help you in every aspect of your life and make you the kind of person that other people want to be with.
Answer 6 :
don know write this down: By working smarter and efficiently to reduce procedures in our daily tasks, we can all produce more without exerting brute strength. A faster simple workflow leads to reduced costs and mistakes. your reality: work takes a back seat cause we r #1 !
Answer 7 :
plan set yourself targets aim to reach and surpass them. keep a graph of your figures and always strive to reach new targets, this shows commitment. motivate yourself by having incentives this is normally done by your employer. It is very important if you want to suceed in todays busy workplace.

Answer 1 :
Do drugs dude...the place your looking for is in some dream dimension
Answer 2 :
If you want to avoid unnecessary politics, open your own office. Politics in the workplace are unavoidable, unfortunately.
Answer 3 :
Unfortunately there isn't an organisation that is void of "unnecessary politics" politics - as in power struggles is par of the course. It always is when money and ambition and control are involved. Newer organisations tend to have less harmful unpleaseant power struggles but i find that they tend to develop within a year. Dealing with politics is a skill in the same way that being a team player is. Being able to deal with team dynamics effectively as a colleague or a leader is a form of politics - you have to negotiate, be tactful, sometimes be forceful and sometimes tow the line. It sucks sometimes but thats the real world.
Answer 4 :
Every workplace in the world, no matter how big or small, has office politics. Where human beings are together it's unavoidable. The trick is to learn them fast. What makes organisations good to work for is not just the salary and benefits package, but the actual relationshps with colleauges. If you don't all manage to get along (and that doesn't mean you all have to be bosom buddies) then it can make for some very long days. Learning the politics is the key.
Answer 5 :
Go back to school and become a Doctor! No really, look into the "Think Tanks" - organizations that do stats!keep records,predict outcomes,etc.. A meticulous,competent.team player needs to work where the pace is busy,accurate and fills a need.Good Luck in your search - maybe you should consider ITT Teck - p.s. try the government - consumer ministry,stats ministry of your country. Also the medical profession - insurance companies keep stats -
Answer 6 :
Taliban is probably recruiting. But dont count on job stability or even living long.
Answer 7 :
Is that possible?
Answer 8 :
that's up to your own initiative and that will prove if your meticulous and motivated! go for it and good luck
Answer 9 :
Some would argue all politics is unnecessary. In my experience there are two kinds of politics that go on in companies - the type which is open and understandable and the type that is done through insecurity, spite and for general issues related to dysfunctional people and organisations. Oddly enough the company that declared to me 'there is a lot of politics going on here' was the easiest to work with because the politics was out in the open. Those that say 'there is not politics here' will turn out to be full of power players and back stabbers. Or that is my experience. All companies are dysfunctional to some degree, it's more about the attitude of folks you work with. Usually the bigger the company the bigger then chance for the company to be dysfunctional on an ingrained level. The best way to avoid politics is to find a good, balanced small company with a sensible growth rate - that and take your work with a pinch of salt. Most jobs make no real difference to the world so it's not worth getting to worked up about, unless you happen to be a doctor or something that directly affects people...

What is the best bank to open a business banking account if you are contracting as a limited company?
What is the best bank to open a business banking account if you are contracting as a limited company?
I am contracting as a limited company in the financial services industry in London. Because of new regulations, anyone contracting as a limited company must now have a business bank account. Can anyone in a similar situation recommend/give advice as to the best bank to go with in this case? I know nothing about business bank accounts, eg how long do they take to set up, what are (if any) the fundamental differences between a business bank account and a personal on etc.

Answer 1 :
This depend on your priorities. if you don,t mind bank charges any of the 4 banks can do as there is a good service on all of them. if you want a fix amount of bank charges A&L is good one if you don't want bank charges then Abbey is the best. Hope this help you. Regards Antonio
Answer 2 :
Hi, Firstly do you have an accountant? What is their advice? Do you really need to be Ltd? What about sole trader.In a partnership? Double accounts and its expensive to run Ltd. My advice would be which ever bank you go with. Make sure its a smaller branch.Not a large city branch.You'll be treated as an individual.And more of a valid customer.The larger the customer base the worse they are. We were with Barclays and although their personal banking side is ok at best.Their business banking is shameful. I have spoken to 4 other people who report the dismal service and poor customer relations .And one was a large accountant firm.Not to mention the bureaucracy of this company. We are with HSBC .Without their help we would not be in business.Superb support and a local manager who cares. I hope this helps a little......
