How good is it to be ‘multitask’?

Having these skills allows the worker to develop in an integral way and make transversal movements in an organization.

At present there is much talk about ‘multitask’ or multitasking employees as a necessity that the labor market demands. However, there are different positions, and there are those who prefer a worker who performs a single function and does it well.

How good is it to be 'multitask'

Mónica Yamile Pardo Morales, director of Human Talent at BDO in Colombia, says that the good thing about being a multitasking employee is that when someone with certain requirements is required in another area or process, this worker can be the first on the list of any change.

However, Pardo expresses that it is bad to be a ‘multitask’ when the company for which he works confuses an integral person with one who can do everything. So, in these environments the employee can be overloaded with work and have difficulties.

“Being multitasking is attending functions of various types within the same position. That is, knowing the specialty of your profession and the area to which you belong within an organization, but having basic knowledge of other areas to be able to understand the points of view and create common languages. For example: an Audit Senior has accounting as his training base and is an expert in it. However, he must be a good leader, have his skills developed, and carry out other activities not necessarily associated with accounting, such as administrative, personnel management, quality, and commercial activities,” says Pardo.

Similarly, key positions in an organization should be filled by employees who are capable of multitasking. “By this I mean not only management positions, but also all those who are key to sustaining the business.”

Pardo ensures that a manager must be ‘multitask’ because he is the integrator of processes, people, areas and organizational dynamics. Therefore, he has to immerse himself in different levels of depth of what his colleagues do, in order to be the support of any of them in critical moments, and to be able to make decisions both alone and as a team.

The problem is not that the worker is multitasking, the bad thing is that the company overloads tasks.

Amanda Bibiana Arias, deputy director of Human Talent at Parque Mundo Aventura, affirms that new labor trends make an increasing demand on their workers to achieve results, highlighting the need to develop their skills to attend to various things at the same time. time.

“It is favorable that a worker is multitasking and manages to respond to the various demands of a job”, points out Arias.

Verbal communication comprises words, nonverbal communication is everything else.

Constantly our body is communicating informationin most cases involuntarily, where you can determine the mood, safety of the subject, motivation and feelings among others.

There are some studies that show thatonly 40% of a message or less of what you want to express is emitted in words, the rest, through non-verbal language. Even the psychologist Albert Mahrabian, researcher of the subject said that only 7% is verbal and 93% is composed of non-verbal language.

There are many aspects to consider, let’s talk a little about the most important aspects of non-verbal communication:

Facial expressions: is the most noticeable and most noticeable emotional indicator in virtual communications, where the focus is on the upper body.

Look: Looking at the person in a communication denotes security. Also, in the movement of the eyes it can be observed that a person is thinking, analyzing and even detecting their mood.

Gestures: are the set of facial expressions, postures, smiles, body movements that accompany the words in a synchronized way. It generally serves to accentuate or ratify what is expressed verbally.

Posture: demonstrates the disposition or predisposition towards the activity that is carried out and visually weighs a lot on the personal image, for example an upright posture shows good attitude, being awake, in turn an ungainly position shows predisposition, laziness, sadness or lack of interest in the meeting.

Appearance: It is one of the most influential aspects of communication in general. It generates a lot of information about a person when we see him for the first time, such as age, neatness, occupation, marital status, origin, socio-economic status, among others.

The perception of a person’s appearance is greatly influenced by previously established social and cultural paradigms. Hence its importance to make a good impression and therefore, we must work to give that image that we want to project to impact the meeting, class session or interview in which we are participating.

Paralanguage: basically, it is how you say what you say. In the voice you can infer the emotions of a person, either in person, in a video conference or by telephone. We can evaluate in this aspect, the tone, the rhythm, the pauses or silences, the volume and the timbre which allows us to analyze aspects of the person.

Chronomic: it is the aspect of non-verbal language that has to do with the time used to express messages, if it is concrete, or takes many turns to express a response, a proposal, an idea or a situation.

In addition to the aspects of communication, we must also take into account the following tips to provide the best impression:

Check in advance the internet connection, the operation of the camera, the microphone, the background that will have its position.

Punctuality, even if it is a virtual interview, must be 10 minutes before in the waiting room.

Greeting and saying goodbye to the interviewer, as well as giving thanks and putting into practice good manners, are key elements to make a good impression.

Dressing according to the occasion, formally, properly and completely, not just from the waist up, could be in for a surprise.

Always show an optimistic attitude.
