Culture
They want to learn more and share what they learn. They turn up on time and pull their weight. They don’t try to climb over people they try to build the whole team up.
Positive attitude, ability to follow directions, and the appropriate aptitude to do the job.
Make me proud
Engagement
Average employees don't strive to do better or improve their work. Great employees are those who want to do better and end up making themselves a more valuable employee.
Depends on who you are asking - coworker vs a boss or boss vs a leader. A great employee to a coworker is someone dependable and helpful. A great employee to a leader is dependable, helpful and meets goals to make YOU look good. A great employee to a boss is someone who does their job for them with no recognition, pay bonus or pay raise.
Ownership of job responsibilities as opposed to showing up and just checking the box.
Ones that follow the rules and wants what's best for them and the company!
Little or no follow up
Employees who really care to make a difference in company success and bottom line!
Great attitude. Dependability. Willingness to help out even when it's not in their job description.
The ability to work at 100% no matter what is thrown their way
This is not a simple question. Generally, it is someone who stands out by the high quality (not necessarily quantity) of work they produce. But, the fact is, all employees are not always given the same opportunities. If everything is equal, I find that great employees are those who are willing to support those under them or other team mates. Some bosses mistake suck ups as great employees, this is a horrible mistake and bad managers and narcissists get fooled by this behavior.
Ones that put the company needs ahead of their own
Their willingness to stand alone in opposition to the status quo for the greater good.
The value they add to those around them and to the organization itself. Great employees are far away and above their peers and stand out in the crowd for the results they get and the dependability factor as well.
A great employee is always sharing lessons learned, eager to learn and constantly asking questions to better themselves. They also don't punch a clock, counting the minutes they work, but just getting the job done and willing to go the extra mile.
Attitude
Employees who take pride in their work and expect a high level of themselves. Work ethic is self taught
Kindness, respect, patience, self-control, desire and ability to help the project succeed, willing to go above and beyond. Lots of characteristics make a great teammate.
Being supportive, expressing interest in what drives you, and pushing you to do the best job you can.
