Making a Good Impression at Work
How you come across at work matters. It starts on day one, and re-starts each Monday when you arrive back at the office. And it’s true that we want to spend more time and provide more support to people we really like and feel good about, so make positive impressions each day in the workplace.
Ways to Make a Good Impression at Work
Here are some ways to do that:
1. Be good at what you do. We respect that in you.
2. Be responsive to others. Make sure that you are taking care of them, and they will take care of you.
3. Talk up your department, those in it and those that support it. When the department is strong, everybody inside of it is strong.
