Is It Time to Audit and Evaluate Your Current Employer?

Believe it or not, today is the last day of November. There’s just one more month left in the year before 2023 will be here.
 
When it comes to your career, the question is this one: does your fresh start for 2023 involve your current employer . . . or another opportunity?
 
There’s a good chance that, like most people, you’re continually seeking ways to enhance your career. For some workers, they have chances to do that at their current company. However, for others, that’s simply not the case.
 
What about you? Are you looking forward to 2023 and tackling the challenges and taking advantage of the opportunities that await you where you are now? Or are you not so sure that those challenges and opportunities are awaiting you—or that they exist at all?
 
If you’re not 100% sure that where you are is where you should be, then it might be time to audit and evaluate your current employer.
 
What does that mean? It means taking a hard look at your current situation and asking questions about your employer that you may not have considered before, questions like the ones listed below:
 

• Are there opportunities for advancement? If so, what are those opportunities? Are you able to engage those opportunities? If not, why not?
• Does your employer have clearly defined goals for future achievement and success? If so, what is your role in those goals? What specifically will you contribute to the pursuit of those goals?
• Are you excited about going to work every day? Is the company culture conducive to creating (and cultivating) excitement among its employees? Do you enjoy what you do (i.e., your tasks and responsibilities) on a daily basis?
• What kind of work/life balance does your current position afford you? Is there truly a balance, or is the situation more lopsided than you would like it to be? If so, will you be able to regain a satisfactory balance in the near future? And how will you regain it?

 
Your answers to these questions will better help you to figure out where you stand right now. In other words, they will help you to audit your current employer and determine your best course of action.
 
The course of action you plot could involve a move to a new employer, one that will provide you with the advancement—and the satisfaction—that you’re looking for.
