For our final Summer Session, Tara Thurber, Ellie Bright and Vitoria Wright discuss passive-aggressive behavior in the workplace.  In a recent article by CNBC, a psychology expert outlined 7 signs of passive-aggressive co-workers and how to cope noting, "Colleagues who exhibit passive-aggressive tendencies are especially insidious to organizations because they can masquerade as productive."

Our team considered all aspects and provided some tips for how to manage and eradicate passive-aggressive behaviors at work.

1) Find Different Perspectives
2) Nip it in the Bud
3) Provide a Safe Communication Space
4) Acknowledge & Be Aware

Tips to Handle Conflict at Work

- Create an opportunity to speak to the person face-to-face (if remote, use video)
- Step away from the conversation/conflict and play Devil’s advocate
- Find your voice and stick to it
- Do not be reactive
- Take and provide feedback
- Use "Because of This, I feel That" statements
- Ask for Third Party perspective(s)
- Prepare documentation for HR

A survey completed by Forbes Advisor states, 43% of married couples report they met at work while over 60% of adults have had a workplace romance. Most couples are unaware of what or if their employer has a policy on workplace relationships.
