While you cannot turn notifications off completely for your iPhone, you can turn off preview, so no one can see any of your notifications, except something like, Messages, when you get a message, or Missed Call, when you get a phone call. Are you saying that you leave your iPhone out in the open at work when you are no where around it?

Your watch should be notifying you, unless you have gotten yourself so far away from the iPhone that you are not getting notifications. Then check Notifications in the Watch app on the iPhone to ensure that you have them turned on. People would not see notifications on your iPhone if they come on the Watch, unless they pick it up and wake the screen, and then they wouldn't if you have already looked at the notification on the Watch.
