My response is the same. In most cases redundancy and decision-making cannot be controlled by the employee. I recommend the following tips for those seeking a pay rise and they can be useful for those seeking to avoid redundancy if only to refocus efforts away from the negativity of possible job loss.

Employees need to demonstrate quality and value to an organisation through actions and a passion for work and their job.

Try to volunteer for extra responsibility and go the extra mile and put in the extra hours if required.

Ensure that you react to special requests and urgent tasks from your superiors quickly and efficiently.

Try to dress for the job professionally and conduct yourself accordingly

Keep up your efforts for a continued period of time as this is what is noticed more that short bursts of energy.

Act on feedback from your boss particularly any development issues raised at your last performance review. This will make an impact.

Don’t be afraid to tell your boss about your desire and goals to do well within the company. Outline what you want to achieve with the company.
