For Health and Peace of Mind

For a Healthy Work Environment it is Important to know when to Act on a Disruptive Behavior and when to let it be...

     In Susan M Heathfields article on "How to Manage Gossip at Work" she explains the existence of work gossip, how it is, more often than not, a common occurrence at most jobs. She also addresses how to recognize it, when it goes too far, and tackles the difficult decision of when to act. "Expect a certain amount of gossip; people want to know what is going on in their workplace, and they like to discuss work issues. The key is to know when the gossip is out-of-hand. You need to act if the gossip is:

• disrupting the work place and the business of work,
• hurting employees’ feelings,
• damaging interpersonal relationships, or
• injuring employee motivation and morale."

     We may make allowances here an there for those who create a negative cloud within a work environment because they are entertaining or troubled or we understand that they have little else going on in there everyday lives, but at what cost? For those destructive people who participate, who they really hurting when "They talk about the company, their coworkers, and their managers; and/or frequently take a partial truth and turn it into a whole speculative truth", as Susan puts it?     

First, tackle the things that you can control as a coworker or as a manager...

"If you find yourself having to address gossip frequently, you may want to examine your workplace to understand the consistent themes in the gossip. Consider that you may not be sharing enough information."

Make sure that you don't allow for the  behavior to spread through you. Make a personal commitment to refuse to participate in the gossip. When all is over and done a clean reputation of  carrying on with others will speak for itself. Susan notes; "If gossip has been unmanaged in the past, gossip tends to become a negative aspect of your work culture. So, don’t let negative gossip go unaddressed." 

     To address and manage gossip as an employee or manager try to encourage a more direct approach of passing information. Be positive. Understand that the person may not be aware that their behavior is destructive. Address the gossip with them and let them know that if has hurt your feelings. While this seems simple it may not be. Remember, they may not know how it is effecting you. If it is to do with someone else, let them know that you are distracted by it and that it is not beneficial to the work environment. "You can manage gossip exactly as you would manage any other negative behavior from an employee in your work place. Use a coaching approach, when possible, to help the employee improve his or her behavior. But, when needed, gossip management starts with a serious talk between the employee and the manager or supervisor. If the discussion of the negative impacts of the employee’s gossip has no effect on subsequent behavior, begin the process of progressive discipline" Give them the opportunity to curb their behavior to benefit the work place. While this may not be enough for some others will appreciate your efforts. Susan states that, "If you assertively deal with gossip, you will create a work culture and environment that does not support gossip." As much as you may not want to involve yourself, taking action on such environmental changes can only benefit work place. 

"Who gossips to you will gossip of you." --Turkish proverb

Another Happy Client at Le Reve Organic Spa & Boutique!...

Melinda D. had a great Age Defying facial with Izabella at Le Reve!

          "I had the Age Defying Facial with Isabella and loved it!  It was super relaxing and Isabella did a great job explaining the products she was using.  She was extremely attentive to my needs and my skin was so soft and hydrated afterwards. I also appreciated that although she suggested a few products to purchase, she was not at all pushy.  A great find, and although it was a bit pricey, I found that in this case you get what you pay for (in a good way).  I'll definitely be back!"

Le Reve encourages you to give a One Time Donation

Donate Today!

For every $1 you donate today to Soles4Souls, we can provide one additional pair of shoes to someone in need. $20 provides 20 pairs of shoes. $500 will change the lives of 500 people - maybe an entire community! Thank you for your support!

How is Soles4Souls Green?

We offer a simple way to help reduce the strain on our environment: donate your "gently worn" footwear to people in need instead of throwing them away. Last year alone, Americans discarded more than 300 million pairs of shoes. When these shoes break down in our landfills, the toxic glue that holds the shoes together can leak into our water supply and atmosphere.

Soles4Souls can save your shoes from early death by cleaning them and shipping them to needy people around the world, who will treasure the gift for years to come. Since its inception following the Asian tsunami, Soles4Souls has distributed over 10 million pairs to people in 125 countries, and our efforts have been publicized in thousands of articles, including the Green Guide by National Geographic and Runner's World.

Most of our closets are filled with shoes we rarely wear. Instead of dropping the unwanted pairs in the trash, consider stopping by a local shoe retailer in exchange for a discount on a new pair of shoes. In addition to this program, Soles4Souls hosts thousands of collection events across North America, including marathons, schools, churches and more.

Click here to donate $1 today and give an orphan a pair of shoes http://www.soles4souls.org/donate

Thanks for giving back, Shannon

Jo Shields is the winner of our September "Green Tip" Contest

We are pleased to announce that Jo is our winner! We love how she has gotten the whole family involved in the creative construction of their family compost bin. Below is our winning Green Tip! - Jessica

My kids and I constructed a compost bin from 4 recycled shipping pallets by screwing them together to form a box and wrapping chicken wire around it to keep in the debris. Was really easy. http://www.yourguidetogreen.com/TheUrbanFarm/2009/02/24/making-a-compost-bin-from-wooden-pallets/

Anyone who has a yard or a garden has plant debris, so rather than let it go to waste, or pay to have it hauled away, we constructed a compost bin (one could also purchase one at the local hardware store). and installed it near the trash receptacles. We have decreased our trash by at least 1/3 by composting food scraps (not incl meat or dairy), lawn cuttings, leaves, coffee grounds and filters, egg shells, paper towels, etc, etc. The best part is that the kids seem proud that are doing something for Mother Earth. Yay!

Quinn (8) Shane (11) and friend Ava (11) adding 1000 red worms to the compost.
