Tips in Creating Workplace boundaries
Good understanding of job responsibilities
Refer to your SLA Handbook, training materials (name of job description file or
sheet?)
Be aware of your limits and know what you want to accomplish at work.
Ex. Your limit may be (time), not enough time to take on an extra job because
you have full time classes, two jobs, and lots going on with family issues
Resources, knowing that you cant spend any more money for a event you are
planning because youve reached your budget
Skills, knowing to ask for help when you know that your skills are lacking in the
program that you are using.
When boundaries are crossed, address it as soon as possible with a positive attitude.
Ex. If a coworker asks if you can help her out with some data entry it would be
healthy to say that you are unable to help out because you have lots of data to do
yourself.
Ask for help from co-workers, staff, and supervisor when you are getting close to your
workload limit.
Use the tray by the calendar to put any work that you would like help with , fill
out the green and orange sheets where you can request help from your fellow
coworkers
Benefits
o Sets the tone of the office
o a feeling of safety
o a better functioning workplace environment

Scenario:
Youre working on an important and time consuming project that is due this week. A coworker who you have a good relationship with comes up to you and asks for help. He/she
appears sad and in need of talking to someone about it. What do you do?
will be separated into partners, will be given the same scenario and be asked to read it to
each other and then one will play the role of the person who is crossing the boundary and
the other the one that will be asked to set the boundary in his or her own way
as a group: How did you think you did?
