Individuals can give the impression to be unreliable when they do not know how to prioritise their workload.

3. Learn how to say No

Some people have difficulties saying no because they want to help out their colleagues or fulfil all customer queries as quickly as possible. "As honourable as this may be, it is often impossible to manage everything at the same time. Imagine the disappointment afterwards," says Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. In today's busy work environment it is important to learn how to say no sometimes and focus on priorities.

4. Communication

"Communication is key," find Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. It is always important to constantly communicate with others. "If you are running late for an appointment, call ahead to let others know. If you are working on a project, make sure that all information is shared in order to avoid any negative surprises. If you cannot resolve a customer query immediately, keep in touch and inform them of the reason. Keep them updated," recommends Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. By keeping people informed they know what to expect and feel they are being looked after.

5. Follow through

In order to demonstrate reliability, it is important to follow through from start to finish. "No matter what you do in life, it is crucial to follow through until the end. Reliable people don't look for excuses not to finish what they started. They just get on with it," says Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd.

6. Be truthful

"Being honest may sound easy. Ask yourself when you participated the last time in gossip talk or told a lie to someone," says Matt Stewart of Atlas Outsourcing Ltd. "Giving people the impression you are not telling the truth means that they will see you as a source of unreliable information." In order to build trust it is important to provide truthful information.

7. Respect other people's time

Atlas Outsourcing Ltd say: "As important as it is to prioritise and respect your own time, it is vital to respect other people's time." In order to be taken seriously, it is important to be punctual and to thank others for their time.
