Replace office gossip with positive communication that support your workplace and You 👍

Did you know employees lose 2.8hrs/week due to conflict? 

We all know gossip is negative and even complain about it. We simply get in habits that are not helpful. Office gossip:

- Reduce trust and respect

- Diminish effective communication

- Lower collaboration

- Decrease productivity & innovation

- Initiate conflict

- Reduce teamwork 

- Lead to more misunderstandings 

Many bosses, managers, and CEO's experience the negative impact. You can break the cycle by taking small steps to break old habits and replace it with new habits that actually serve you. 

✔ Start with practicing the habit yourself

✔ Avoid blaming or finger pointing

✔ Change topic of conversation

✔ Suggest a three way phone or video call to clear or stop the issue at hand

✔ State your personal habit/goal, not to talk about someone when they are not present

Remember small steps create huge impact!! 

Happy #WonderfulWednesday
