In this program we'll learn the harmful effects of gossip and the two ways to look professional. We will learn how to handle information passed onto you. We live in a society that is fascinated with the private lives of other people. Conversation around the water cooler has expanded to emailing and instant messaging. It is easier and faster now to convey a message that is constructive or destructive. True, it can be said that coworkers often spend more time at work than they do with their families. But it is important to avoid the temptation of getting too personal at work. Be friendly with everyone. Be in the middle of a work assignment rather than be in the middle of a negative conversation. Keep in mind the big picture: gossip could be directed toward the company itself and cause misrepresentation with incorrect information, thus leads to work errors and unhappy customers.
