How to become an irreplaceable person in the company?

Faced with this problem, let’s talk about the conclusion first, the hard-hitting soldiers, from the CEO to the ordinary employees, there is no one who is truly irreplaceable in the modern workplace. What ordinary people can do is to continuously improve their value and increase their value. Your own price/performance ratio makes the company see that it has lost you, and even if you spend several times the price, you may not be able to hire people of the same level. That’s all.

What is the smartest way to do it? First, in the company to be exposed to the core business. As the saying goes, if you want to make money, you have to be close to where there is a lot of money. No matter what job you do at the beginning, you will always be on the edge if you don’t touch the core business. For example, the core business of the auto parts manufacturing industry is of course manufacturing products. The manufacturing engineering department studies how to build a reliable manufacturing system and make products smoothly according to customer requirements. This is the core business department. Understand the principles of product design and

Manufacturing process technology, but also to formulate production process standards, the input of production/logistics/quality and other operating departments mostly comes from the engineering department, who can work in the manufacturing engineering department, of course, can further access the company's core business than others.

Second, it is of course best to work in the core department. If there is no such thing, there are other ways, that is, to build a personal brand within the company, and to make the work you can do to the extreme and professional. For example, if you are engaged in quality work, you can clarify the auditing system required by the company and customers, such as IATF16949 in the automotive industry and VDA in Germany. The company will give priority to arranging you to accompany the client. To maximize one's professional ability is to improve one's core competitiveness. If the company encounters a certain problem, the leader can think of you as soon as possible. This is the establishment of a personal professional brand.

The third is to expand horizontally and do more work that can bring benefits and value to the company in other areas. For example, Xiao Li from the Engineering Department, in addition to being able to manage changes in his own position, also joined the company's continuous improvement team to explore opportunities for improvement, enhance and optimize company processes, and save costs; he is also a core technical member of the company's declaration of high-tech enterprises , Prepare technical declaration materials, and reduce the company's income tax rate from 25% to 15%; both of these tasks can directly bring benefits to the company.

To sum up, it is impossible to be irreplaceable. We can only try to avoid becoming a screw in the assembly line. The only way is to continue to learn and improve our own abilities. The development of the workplace always depends on ourselves, and only if we have the ability can we have the initiative and the right to speak.
