Mistake at work
Who here makes mistakes at work?? I just started a new position a few months ago and for some reason make small errors only a few months in. Recently I did a report that later became an error issue. I thought I have updated what needed to be updated but turns out I did not include the info that was needed. This reports goes to high level management which looks bad on my end since It was my responsibility. The report is not given to me until further notice which is understandable. How do I over come this where I don’t feel so crappy about what happened due to an error that I overlooked on. Pls help.
Learn from your error even make a physical note of it to remind yourself for future reference not to repeat...but then move on! Look forward not back..forward is the direction you wish to proceed so ! So don't dwell on an error ...rather be happy for your accomplishments and take pride in your work ..it should start getting more routine and fall into place..
Acknowlage you part in it, correct it and inform each party indivdually of the error as an apology, with a caption of corrective measures taken to not make the mistake again.
Nah: If I may give you the advice I always gave my team. Mistakes happen, if we learn from it and don’t repeat it then it was a life lesson. If however we do it again the there is an issue we need to address
Remember when starting a new job a lot of information is given at once a lot of details so don’t beat yourself up over it
Go to your supervisor and tell them that you would like to be retrained on this particular process. Take notes and ask as many questions as you possibly can to make sure that they are properly training, ask for a copy of the SOP. Also, make it clear to her that you really want to make sure that you understand what’s expected because you want to represent her and the group in the best light possible and you want to do your best.
Then Breathe! And be ready to take it all in.
Dwight D. Eisenhower said " Learn as much as you can from those who know more than you, who do better than you, who see more clearly than you." "I thought"? Did you REALLY DOUBLE CHECK? Or did you just "Phone it in?". So learn from your gaffe. Think positive. Since you did NOT mention you were fired, consider that a blessing, a plus! Now then; you have gotten your one "Oh S_ _T out of the way, it's time for you to start a streak of 10 Atta-Boys". Good luck, Best wishes, God Bless.
"To err is human." Look at you already taking the initiative to learn from the error, and ask for help. We all make mistakes. It takes maturity and poise to acknowledge that and move forward with a positive spin on it. Keep it up :)
Training and development is what should be occuring just be sure to get the reports completed and have your manager look over your results not be hard on yourself, remind them you don't walk on water with a smile.
Everyone makes mistakes at work Naj S. ! Don't worry too much about it - it's a part of the learning process, and any employer knows that new employees will make them. The onus is on them to train you and supervise you to a point where you are comfortable being autonomous in your work.
Have they said anything to you about the errors in the report?
We all make mistakes go to God in prayer let the Lord no you didn't mean to make the mistake. He help you. God loves you your his child.
