Developing Great Work Habits

There’s a saying, “Don’t work harder, work smarter.” That may be true, but especially when starting a new job, it’s very important to work harder and smarter.

Your new job is a great opportunity to develop excellent work habits.

Here are some important tips to remember:

• Make sure to listen more than you talk; “When you have nothing to say, say nothing.” – Charles Caleb Colton.
• Take notes during meetings and training.
• When you are not sure how to complete your work, ask for clarification right away. Do not make assumptions.
• Be a problem solver and volunteer if given an opportunity.
• Don’t expect special favors or ask for them.
• Keep your work relationships on a professional level.
• Do not mix your personal life and your work life.
• Avoid gossip and criticism.
• Do not use company phones or equipment for personal needs.
