Resolutions


Here we are again, another year gone by, and we are feeling bad we did not achieve what we wanted to in 2009. And now we resolve to do new things in 2010. One of my employee's resolution is:

Mine is not to be judgmental or talk negatively about people.....be more accepting of people and who they are, not who I think they should be. And......no more soda!

I’d like to take the credit for hiring such a wonderful staff that would have resolutions like this. What a great resolution for all staff. The working environment would be so much better if we all practiced these qualities. As managers, executives, and staff, we can resolve to create a better work environment. Here are a few more resolutions for the workplace:

-Compliment staff often on a job well done. They don’t hear it enough.
-Talk to staff individually; find out what is going on
-Clean up speech, no more redneck talk, learn new adjectives.
-For Execs and Management--Take management classes, you’d be surprised, you don’t know everything.
-Learn to deal with difficult people with tack and respect.
-Keep abreast of new HR laws and regulations… and there are some for 2010.

With the economy still in a fragile state, most of us are glad we have jobs in 2010. Making the workplace a better environment for all can only help us be more productive and successful for 2010.

Now, about the no more soda resolution….that is just a little too hard! Let’s be reasonable!
