- Avoid drinking and drugging.

It’s important to keep good work habits. Being on time and showing up for work when scheduled are important to your job success. This is because a company can’t run without trustworthy workers. A supervisor has to count on its workers coming to work on time each day. When a worker is late or absent, it causes problems for the company and for other employees.
When a worker is absent from his job, the company loses money. The employees who are at work can’t do as much. The quality of their work will suffer. When other workers are rushed, they can’t give customers the service they deserve. These things cost the company money.
Being absent causes problems for co-workers and supervisors. Supervisors have to rearrange schedules and your co-workers have to fill in to do your job. There may be times when you have a good excuse to be late or absent. Being sick is an acceptable excuse. Having a hangover or sleeping too late is not. If you are serious about doing a good job, and being at work on time, there are steps you can take.
Lead a healthy lifestyle
Lead a healthy lifestyle by getting enough sleep and eating right. It’s hard to do a good job when you don’t get enough sleep. Most people need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. It’s good to get into a routine where you go to bed at the same time each night. Eating right is important, too. When you have good eating habits, you are less likely to get sick and miss work.
Avoid alcohol and drugs
Avoid drinking and drugging. Drinking too much can cause a hangover, which will affect your job performance. Drinking also causes health problems that can cause you to miss work. Drinking on the job or right before going to work can get you fired. Misusing drugs causes the same kinds of problems. Plus which, street drugs are illegal. Drugs can also cause hangovers and affect your work performance. They also affect your health, which makes it harder to do a good job. At many jobs, using illegal drugs, even when you are off work, will get you fired.
Plan ahead for time off
If you need to take time off, plan ahead with your supervisor. Taking time off for doctors’ appointments should be planned a couple of weeks ahead of time. Longer absences such as vacations should be planned at least a month in advance.
Even when you plan ahead, there will be times when you have to miss work. Your supervisor will usually understand if you miss work only once in a while. Most companies have limits on the number of absences an employee can have. When an employee goes over those limits, she can get a disciplinary action.
If you can’t make it to work, despite your best efforts, call your supervisor and let him know why you are missing work, and when you plan to return to work. It’s best not to lie. Let your supervisor know you will be willing to make up the work you missed while absent. By following these tips, your supervisor will know you are serious about doing a good job.
Keep up good friendships
Your relationships can affect your job success. Pay attention to the company you keep. If your friends don’t work and party until late at night, you might be tempted to join them, even though you have to work the next day. Find positive friends who respect you and respect your right to want to do a good job.
Your relationships at work can also affect your job success. It’s good to have friends at work, but you should avoid romances with co-workers. And don’t let your friendships with co-workers get in the way of your job.
