There
is nothing that affects how employees work and perform more than the negativity
that clouds the workplace. It diminishes a worker’s morale and diverts the
attention and energy of everyone in the workplace that should have been spent
on their work. Negativity is an attitude or an outlook of one or more members
of the team.
The
first step is learning about the negativity residing in your company. As an HR,
it is one of your job to keep in touch with each member of the company and know
various unpleasant situations that arise among them. You can also see the warning signs if you pay
attention closely. You receive more complaints from employees, exit interviews
with those who leave, and you hear that your workplace reputation isn’t that
satisfying. Don’t ignore these situations, these are those warning signs.
The
next thing to do is to diagnose the workplace negativity. This includes talking
with the workers about it. By communicating with them, you will be able to
understand the specific problems and know the core issues that causes the
negative ambiance. You should also determine which employees experience the negativity
and the reasons that caused the unhappiness. Maybe they feel that they are
entitled to get more than they receive, maybe the company’s decisions affected
the staff, or his manager and other team members have made him feel that way. Whatever
the main issues are, you must address them immediately.
One
way to reduce this to have an open communication to the employees. Be open to
their comments and suggestions, even if some seem unimportant or seem silly. The
moment that they know you take their words and problems seriously is one thing
to gain their trust. When you have their trust, they will tell you everything
you need to know without the any communication barrier. You will see their
perspective and this will help you understand their situation.
