DECLARATION
I declare that I have chosen to become an
Added Value Employee.
I'm not going to sit idly by and worry. Instead I'm
going to gather information about what I do, refl ect
on the changes I need to make and then make them
in order to increase my Productivity, my People Skills
and my PR activities. Though this may require an extra
effort, I believe that putting in this effort will be better
than having to fi nd another job. I’m worth it and I’m a
good person – it’s worth investing in me:

high AVE scores, people will tend to want to keep you. Even
if they don’t yet know what it is they want you to do exactly,
they know that you’re one of the ‘keepers’ who will be part
of the organisation’s future. Choose to become a ‘keeper’
