Manage episode 395529983 series 3506420
How can you ensure that new employees don’t gossip?
Imagine this, you have a completely gossip-free environment, a positive company culture, and great team communication and then… a new employee comes along and ruins it.
Within weeks of them starting in your department/organisation, you notice a drastic decline in team morale, there’s misunderstanding upon misunderstanding.
You decide to ignore it because they must still be fitting in and you had such a great interview with this new employee, you feel you just want to give them a fair chance.
What would you do?
According to the Tuckman model (listen to episode 13 for more information here), all teams will go through a storming phase when a new employee comes along as they learn to work together.
However, when does this become concerning?
When it comes to gossip and negative attitudes and spread to other employees, you should always take it seriously and ensure you speak to your team, no matter how short or long they’ve been there, no matter what they’re working through in their personal lives, gossip and negative attitudes should not be taken lightly.
It can cause a lot of damage in a very short amount of time, and you’ll have to spend a significant amount of time repairing the damage.
So how can you ensure that this doesn’t happen?
You gossip-proof your onboarding process.
