The two best suggestions are:

(1) get a good U-lock, like Citadel or Kryptonite.  Use these to
lock your bike to a sturdy support, like a parking meter.

(2) park your bike in an area with alot of pedestrian traffic (like
a shopping mall, or outside a store or restaurant.  This is only
really useful in conjunction with (1) above.

Some other ideas are:
    
(3) remove some critical part of your bike when you leave it.  Some
suggestions are wheels, saddle, handlebars.

(4) add a sloppy coat of paint.  This won't fool a real pro bike
thief, though.

Many employers and schools are now installing high-security bike
racks.  Several manufacturers make them.  The most popular type
seems to be a locker that completely encloses the bike, thus
protecting from people and weather.  You might try getting you boss
to buy one.
