If
you
are
like
most
people,
you
are
now
a
couple
of
weeks
into
the
new
year
with
a
variety
of
resolutions
such
as
losing
weight,
getting
fit,
eating
healthier,
or
getting
organized. Without
impeding
your
opportunity
for
success
on
your
personal
resolutions
or
curing
the
skeptics
who
refuse
to
partake
in
such
resolutions,
consider
some
areas
where
you
can
make
improvements
at
work. Do
not
seek
perfection
in
achieving
these
goals,
but
rather
evaluate
whether
there
is
room
for
improvement
in
each
area.
1.
Train
Managers. While
it
would
be
nice
to
spend
weeks
designing
a
comprehensive
training
program,
many
of
us
face
time
constraints
and
reluctance
from
management
to
allow
employees
time
away
from
their
jobs. Instead
of
seeking
perfection,
consider
alternative
steps
to
take. Would
it
be
possible
to
stop
by
“crew
meetings”
and
do
a
five
minute
refresher
on
sexual
harassment? While
we
all
dread
meetings,
consider
if
it
would
be
better
to
do
a
shorter
presentation
at
a
set
meeting
instead
of
having
multiple
meetings
to
prepare
for
training. If
your
workforce
is
spread
out,
on-line
training
may
be
a
good
alternative.
2.
Hold
Managers
Accountable. We
have
all
met
managers
who
just
don’t
get
it.
While
training
will
help
with
some
managers,
additional
action
is
often
needed
to
address
a
manager’s
poor
work
performance
or
abusive
management
style.
When
you
become
aware
of
such
behavior,
discuss
the
problem
with
the
manager’s
boss
and
make
sure
the
problem
is
addressed
with
the
manager
during
the
performance
appraisal
process.
