Techniques For Avoiding Redundancy - Notes From The Frontline

There is no sure fire way to avoid redundancy, however there is real evidence of positive discrimination around the criteria used for selection that can improve  your chances. 

How To Avoid Redundancy

1. Do the job you are paid to do brilliantly.
2. Create as much additional value around your contribution as possible.
3. Be a high quality, low maintenance person.
4. Be reliable.
5. Be easy to get on with.
6. Constantly demonstrate flexibility and a “can do approach”.
7. Learn at a faster rate than the pace of change in your industry.
8. Build your internal network.
9. Volunteer.
10. Be pro-active in suggesting new ideas.

Think about how people are promoted, by becoming the obvious choice candidate. Avoiding redundancy is that same process in reverse, becoming the least obvious choice candidate.
