What is a Qualified Employee like?

The term “qualified” does not only refer to one’s educational qualification. It goes way beyond that. To put in simple terms, being qualified is about being fit for the job. Someone who would be a perfect match for a particular profile is a qualified employee. Being qualified is not only about having a sound Educational Background.

It does not require a high level of IQ or a rocket scientist to figure out whether an individual is qualified or not. There are certain common traits which can be associated with these groups of individuals.

Talking about the ways to recognize qualified employees, here are a few hallmarks.

1. Discipline

In any field, discipline is the key to success. This is one aspect which makes competent and qualified individuals stand out in a crowd. A disciplined individual would be strict in terms of punctuality, he would be serious and will operate in a “no –excuse” zone.

2. Accountability

This is one important trait of a qualified employee. Once a job is being assigned to him; he would be the one who would take up the entire responsibility. He would never pass the buck to someone else in case of a failure. He would appreciate for being rewarded and at the same would own up to his mistakes.

3. Passion

A qualified individual would always be in charge of a given situation. He would want to perform and be in the limelight. He won’t mind putting in extra effort to impress his employers. He would approach his job with a lot of passion. At times, he might get carried away and commit certain mistakes which are not called for. However, once he is given a proper guidance, he can certainly get his acts together and prove to be an asset for the company over a period of time.

4. Leading from the Front

In today’s business world, leaders make the difference. Every company is looking for individuals who are aggressive, candid and are prepared to take initiatives in order to make things happen. Leadership quality is one of the inherent features of a qualified employee. He would be the one, despite of his level of seniority, who would always like to be in charge. You can count on him during an hour of crisis.

5. Higher Aspirations

A qualified individual would have high aspirations. He would want to make constant progress and would like to upgrade himself on a regular basis. He would be highly inquisitive and would be eager to learn. As an employer, it is very important to recognize this particular trait and channelize it to proper direction.

6. Responsibility

Unlike your average employees, who need to be poked constantly in order to get things done, a qualified individual would take the responsibility to execute a task once it is assigned to him. As already mentioned, he would operate within a “no-excuse” zone. He might get in touch with you seeking for your advice and assistance, but under no circumstances he would let things go beyond his control. He would take the full ownership and ensure that the task he was assigned is being executed successfully.

7. Knowledge

Right at the beginning, it was mentioned that a qualified employee doesn’t necessarily mean a knowledgeable individual. However, knowledge and technical know-how certainly have some very important roles to play. These are the two aspects which makes him productive. Knowledge along with other features together makes an individual qualified.

8. Good Communicators

In every profession, a successful and qualified individual happens to be an excellent communicator. He can express his feelings; thoughts and ideas in clear terms and candidly. He would be 100% focused on the topic of discussion and would not hesitate to question you whenever he feels it is required. He is the one you can count on as your representative.

9. Positive Attitude

He would be the one who would always speak and act in positive terms. When the chips are down and you are struggling to get your acts together, these are people whom you can count on. They would go beyond their domain and help you fight against a situation. If you are looking for some words of encouragement, these are the people you can count on.
