Tactful way to address staff issue

Published

Hello all!

I was hoping to get some ideas on how to address an issue with some staff that I had this year. My clinic has 2 doors - one leading to the hallway and another leading to the administrative area. Several staff members use the clinic continuously throughout the day as a shortcut to the administrative area. This is distracting and annoying. I do not mind the rare cut through, but a couple of staff members are in and out over a dozen times each day. The entrance to the administrative area is like 15 feet from the clinic entrance so the shortcut is really not much of a shortcut. I want to put a stop to this practice next year. Any suggestions/rationale for doing so?

Thanks!

Our policy does not allow for window covering. Supposedly an edict from the State Police...(They need to see into all rooms in the event of an emergency/lockdown.)

I call BS. But the custodians took my blinds away! :(

I plan to get curtains so i can leave them open generally, but close if I have a privacy need.

We have the same policy from our city police, came down this year, so they took down all window coverings on all doors.
