There are a lot of ways that you can help yourself in the workplace. You can be positive. You can be a go-getter. You can help others in a collaborative fashion to increase productivity and build camaraderie.

There’s something else that you can do, as well. That something else is to be more flexible. This includes being more flexible both with your mindset about your job and your approach to your tasks and duties within that job.

The fact of the matter is that employees who are willing to be flexible are more valuable than employees who are not. Since that’s the case, you should definitely look for ways to increase your flexibility and to do so in as many different ways as you can.

Below are five ways that being flexible at work can benefit you:

#1—You solve more problems.

Being flexible lends itself to problem solving. And companies highly value those employees who can solve problems. That’s because there is NO end to the number of problems that pop up. There is an abundance of problems and a scarcity of problem solvers.

#2—You get more work done.

When you solve problems, you often get more work done. And being more productive is another way to be seen as more valuable. And as we’ve discussed, the more valuable you are, the more likely it is that you’ll be rewarded for that value.

#3—You’ll be more appreciated by your co-workers.

People want to be around others who are able to get things done. They like to be associated or affiliated with them. And by being flexible, you have the chance to make your co-workers’ lives easier. Who wouldn’t appreciate that?

#4—You’re more likely to be noticed by management.

If you accomplish #1 through #3 on this list, then #4 is almost inevitable. If you’re reducing stress and increasing productivity overall, then your manager or supervisor will almost certainly take note. And their manager or supervisor could notice, too. Can you say “promotion”?

#5—You’re training yourself for future success.

You’re probably not going to work for your current employer for the rest of your life. That means you’ll eventually be working for another employer. And you can take your flexible mindset and approach to that company, as well.

In addition to learning to be more flexible in the workplace and with your current employer, working with a staffing agency is another way to enjoy more career success.
