I Have a Best Friend at Work

Call it social dynamics.

Throughout our lives, we spend a lot of time at work. We instinctively look to develop friendships at work in which we feel respected and trusted. Having a best friend at work can help employees feel more engaged — and with best friends, teams will be more likely to see a positive impact on business results. It’s simple: People with friends at work are happier at work.

It helps build mutual trust and teamwork.

And that’s smart business.

Conference Calls

Get Back to Work Sooner Rather than Later

If a conference call or meeting finishes early, don’t fill the time.
End the session so everyone can get back to their projects.
Spend time wisely.

Good time management improves productivity.

And that’s smart business.

When delivering mail, carriers encounter many different hazards, from bees in mailboxes to rotten and broken stairs. Always exercise care and report all hazardous conditions to your manager. Don’t risk getting hurt.

When you find something unsafe, submit PS Form 1767, Report of Hazard, Unsafe Condition or Practice.

For more information, refer to Handbook M41 City Delivery Carriers Duties and Responsibilities.

And that’s smart safety!

Motorcycle accidents

Bikers thank you for looking.

What’s the single most dangerous situation for motorcyclists? Cars making left-hand turns. This accounts for 42 percent of all accidents involving a motorcycle and car. Usually, the turning car strikes a motorcycle going straight through an intersection, passing the car or trying to overtake the car. The motorcycle’s smaller size makes it less visible to the driver of the turning vehicle.

Motorcycle accidents don’t necessarily happen more frequently than other types of accidents. But they’re more likely to result in serious injury or death.

Being a defensive driver means looking out for motorcyclists — and all vehicles.

That’s smart safety!
