Great article that my wife came across titled “Why it pays to smile at work – literally” Here is an excerpt – “Companies may be reluctant to admit their offices are anything less than pleasant, but incivility – think belittling barbs or gruff responses – can lead to lost productivity, creativity and talent. As employees who are forced to do more work with fewer resources become more stressed, the rudeness is ramping up. So firms are urging staffers to play nice.” Read the rest of the short article and the access the link to the article that inspired it by clicking here.
I found it interesting that some companies are creating policies to police the culture… instead of creating a culture to police the behaviors. Hmm??
If you rude, crude, offensive, defensive, lazy and a jerk… awesome things will avoid you like the plague.
Smile, work hard and be kind… all day. Heck, all week!
