Impacts of Gossip and Rumors

When it comes to maximizing workplace relationships (including understanding how gossip impacts the entire organization), it's important to have the ability to recognize types of situations that can be caused by hidden differences, seeing the value in increased awareness about the situations, and applying a commonsense approach to responding to similar situations in the workplace.

Additional Information

What it all comes down to is this… we all need to be aware... think before we talk. And ask before we assume. It’s all about dealing proactively with differences, building trust and showing respect by demonstrating understanding and thoughtfulness towards coworkers.
