Maintaining Professional Boundaries – Tip #2

Take Care of Yourself

Do you want to know how to get on the path to job burn-out? It’s in not knowing where work ends and where personal life begins.  Even from the onset, set clear working hours and respect those hours. Don’t take work home and turn the cell phone off!  If an issue about a customer is weighing you down, debrief by talking to a co-worker or your supervisor. There’s nothing wrong with setting reasonable limitations for your customers (and for yourself!).  This doesn’t mean you’re providing bad customer service.  It’s about taking care of yourself.
