# Which Employees Deserve a Raise, in the Boss's Eyes?

> A raise is what every employee hopes for, but a salary corresponds to a position and ability. Only by contributing can one gain, and only by bringing high value to the company can one earn a high salary. When you meet the criteria for a raise, the boss will naturally give it; if you do well enough, even promotion is not a problem. The following six types of employees deserve a raise in the boss's eyes.

**A raise is what every employee hopes for, but a salary corresponds to a position and ability. Only by contributing can one gain, and only by bringing high value to the company can one earn a high salary. When you meet the criteria for a raise, the boss will naturally give it; if you do well enough, even promotion is not a problem.**
**The following six types of employees deserve a raise in the boss's eyes.**
1
**Highly skilled or capable experts who are indispensable to the company's development**
This type of talent is mostly technical experts, and they are the type that many people aspire to become but find hard to achieve. The key word is: **"irreplaceable"**.
These technical experts often possess important technologies needed for the company's development, even core technologies for certain projects or products, or can solve key problems in the company's projects. These capable experts often have outstanding work abilities, possessing important non-technical skills needed for the company's development, or their work ability reaches a level that is hard to replace, such as playing a pivotal role in the company, or being efficient and high-quality, completing tasks efficiently or even exceeding targets without overtime, creating high value for the company in a short time, and handling urgent tasks promptly.
Because their high skills or abilities are scarce, they are often welcomed or even fought over by many companies. To retain them, proactive raises are inevitable.
2
**High performers who bring huge profits to the company**
This type of talent is what many people hope to become and can become. The key word is: **performance**.
These talents often have superb business abilities, repeatedly exceeding targets, and even seemingly easily completing the work of several ordinary employees. They bring a large amount of high-quality business and revenue to the company, so the boss will naturally and willingly give them raises or even rewards.
Performance is their strongest competitiveness, but if they relax a little, they may be caught up by those behind; if they are not enterprising, they may even lose their competitiveness.
3
**Loyal old employees who work steadily for many years without making mistakes and are effective**
The key words for this type of employee are: **steadfastness and loyalty**.
"Being able to calm down" is hard for many people. Working steadily and conscientiously in a position for a long time naturally makes one proficient in the job. Moreover, many positions require steady and reliable operation, especially in companies with increasingly detailed division of labor. Having worked loyally in the company for many years, the company is naturally willing to cultivate them, and the boss can safely communicate important matters with them or even entrust them with important tasks. Old employees who have followed the boss through thick and thin are even more familiar and trustworthy to the boss.
If an employee has worked steadily and loyally for many years, why wouldn't the boss think it worthwhile to give them a raise?
4
**Reliable strong performers who handle their tasks properly and give people absolute peace of mind**
The key word for this type of employee is: **reliable in handling affairs**. "You handle it, I'm at ease" is the greatest affirmation of a person's work, and it is also what the boss most hopes to say when assigning tasks.
Some important affairs in the company require not only strong work ability and skills but also a reliable style of handling affairs, because any mistake could lead to irreparable losses. "Peace of mind" is worth a thousand pieces of gold. For those who handle things well every time and give the boss peace of mind, they can not only get a raise but also be valued and take on many important tasks.
5
**Employees who are proactive, diligent, work overtime voluntarily, and are effective**
The key words for this type of employee are: **diligence, initiative, and effectiveness**.
Every boss likes employees who work proactively. If they also work overtime voluntarily to do the job well, the boss will easily appreciate it. If they are willing to contribute and have good performance, the boss will naturally understand their hard work and further affirm their achievements. If they also have high emotional intelligence and are good at handling relationships, not only getting along well with colleagues but also being closer to the boss, it is easier to get approval for a raise.
If employees are proactive, diligent, and effective, the boss may think it somewhat worthwhile to give a raise to encourage their positive attitude and diligence. But if employees only work hard without results, or are just slick-talking, the boss will find it hard to find a reason for a raise.
6
**High-potential talents with strong growth ability, excellent performance, humility, and steady work**
The key word for this type of employee is: **high-potential talent**. Every company has some important positions that need to cultivate successors for management from within, and high-potential talents are the best choice.
Generally, high-potential talents have the following characteristics:
> (1) Strong curiosity and learning ability, liking to understand unknown things, good at learning new things, and good at dealing with unknown risks.
>
>
>
>
> (2) Possess high-span thinking ability, good at collecting and accurately understanding new information, able to view problems from a broad perspective and form their own opinions.
>
>
>
>
> (3) Possess strong social insight and empathy, able to discern and understand others' thoughts and positions, and good at communicating and persuading others using emotion and logic.
>
>
>
>
> (4) Possess a certain degree of "adversity quotient" and emotional maturity, not afraid of challenges and adversity, able to grow from them, overcome them, and continue to strive for goals unremittingly.
Those who possess the above abilities are often humble and good at learning, and they are also high performers in work, being steady in both conduct and work. For successors to important future positions in the company, the boss will naturally consider appropriate raises and promotions.
