In the workplace, gossip is an activity that is draining, a distraction, and can cause turmoil to an employee’s job satisfaction. Seek2Find Home Care Services LLC is making a commitment to change our atmosphere to a gossip free work environment. Gossip always involves a person who is not present. Unwelcome and negative gossip involved criticizing another person. Gossip often is about conjecture that can injure another person’s credibility, reputation. To have a more professional, gossip free workplace we will: Not speak or insinuate another person’s name when that person is not present unless it is to compliment or reference regarding work matters. Refuse to participate when another mentions a person who is not present in a negative light. I will change the subject or tell them I have agreed not to talk about another. Choose not to respond to negative email or use email to pass on private or derogatory information about any person in the agency. While off the job, speak to another co-worker about people at work in a derogatory light. If I have feelings, I will select to talk to someone not at the workplace. If another person in the department does something unethical, incorrect, against procedures, or disruptive I will use the proper channels to report this to the person in authority to take corrective action.
