Being
the best employee you can does not mean you have to become your job nor is
that what your boss wants from you. What does this mean? Well, it is important
to work efficiently, productively, and enthusiastically at your job, but you
still need to remain the person who you are with your opinions and valued
personal life.
One
of the best ways to sustain this difficult balance is by keeping your work life
separate from your personal life. You’ve probably heard that phrase many times
throughout your life, but have you ever taken the steps to achieve it? Here are
3 helpful tips from one of the top employment
agencies in Hillsboro to get you started!
Ditch the “All in One” Email Account
The
email address you use for work-related communications, such as contacting
potential employers or printing contact information onto business cards, should
look and sound professional. A great way to achieve this is by making your
email address a variation of your first and last name.
Save
your silly side for your personal email address. There is nothing wrong with
subscribing to an online magazine or making an account with your favorite
online store with a goofy email address.
Think Twice Before Friending
There’s
nothing wrong with adding your co-workers on social media! It can be a great
way to get to know them a little bit outside of the office. However, always
think twice before you make that decision. If you post endless memes or questionable
content that you would rather your boss not see, it may be best to simply limit
your social media to friends and family. Why? Because it is always possible
that a co-worker you friended will expose your posts to your boss or other
folks in your company.
Don’t Bring Your Office Home
Perhaps
one of the most intuitive ways to keep your work life separate from your
personal life is to leave your work at work. Unless you absolutely can’t help
it, allow your home to remain a sanctuary from work-related stress. If you continuously
work without breaks, you will cease to grow in other areas of your life,
causing you to “become your job.”
Remember,
your employer hired YOU because they believed YOU were right for the job. Do
not let yourself become somebody else, and don’t let yourself become your job. Hillsboro
staffing solutions say to remain the person who your employer
entrusted to get the job done!
