aspects of our lives. The start of a new year is the perfect time to focus on what improvements can be
made going forward.

1. BECOME MORE ENGAGED
If this past year you haven’t been the most engaged worker, don’t fret. You can easily get back on the right
track. Have lunch with a co-worker, and learn a bit about one of your team mates. This should be a top
priority resolution because not only will you benefit, everyone around you will too.

2. EAT RIGHT
This is probably one of your personal goals, so why not carry it over to the
office? Bring a bagged lunch/healthy snacks a few times a week to start. This
way, you can pack healthy options instead of ordering out whatever you
want. Bringing your lunch will save you money, too! Along with eating right,
try to treat the kitchen at work right. Be respectful of coworkers’ items in the
fridge. And, of course, clean up after yourself.

3. GO ABOVE AND BEYOND
The position you hold could potentially grow into something bigger and better. This New Year, push
yourself at work. Do the extra projects you wouldn’t normally do. Small tasks will add up fast and make
you look like a new and improved employee and possible promotions could be on the horizon for you!

4. COMMUNICATE MORE EFFICIENTLY
This resolution is a must and you should work on both aspects of communication, speaking and listening!
Become more aware of what needs to be addressed and address it! You will feel empowered after a long
year of sitting back not contributing. While you’re at it, try to become a more attentive listener.

5. GET ORGANIZED

Some have had longer in their office than others to accumulate clutter. Use
the New Year as an opportunity to get your space organized and clean up
clutter. Don’t be afraid to purge unused things. Evaluate and revise your
filing system and don’t forget your computers desktop too. Often times it
becomes a dumping ground for unfiled documents.

6. GET POSITIVE
Work on becoming a more uplifting and optimistic worker. It will rub off on others in the office and help
with everyone’s mood. Be the positivity that your coworkers need at work. While you make a change for
yourself, you’ll be helping others change around you. Remember the “P” In P.A.C.T.!
