Remember the expression “sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me?” This common saying was often used to teach people that words, written or spoken, cannot, or should not, negatively affect them. However, most would agree that this saying does not hold true, especially not in business. Negative conversations, whether directed at specific individuals or not, in the workplace can have deleterious effects on employee productivity and happiness. In a recent blog post ”Dealing with Gossip in the Workplace,” the Business Finance Store suggests strategies for developing gossip-free workplace cultures so businesses can thrive.
A workplace full of gossip not only threatens the confidentiality of employees but may also contribute to high employee turnover. However, effective management can help squash gossip before it negatively affects business functioning. The Business Finance Store outlines some ways managers can create a more open environment that discourages gossip, while creating a safe work environment for employees.
