Employees are the building blocks of every organization. A company’s good or bad is decided by every employee’s nature, work, and unity. But have you ever thought about what an employee shouldn’t say? HRavailable explains you in detail.

Most of the organizations have limits on employees talks in the workplace or outside regarding any banned or sensitive topics. This led to many terminations and resignations in many companies.

Why is it so?

In many companies, for example, societal or political discussions might not be allowed. Its because those discussions may distract the workforce and create fights among the employees. This affects the work badly and creates a dark atmosphere. Better results need a good work environment.

Ask Self

This arises as a serious issue somewhere and questions HR like ‘how can you ban what employees speak?’, ‘is there any particular way to communicate?’ and so on.

The answer is yes!

An organization can ban its employees’ conversations on particular matters. But anyway, employees are human beings and somehow the discussion may happen. But the intentional way of coming up with the banned topics is not encouraged.

Come Up with Better Talks

Team leaders have the complete responsibility to look after and train their teammates regarding communication. What to talk about? Where to talk? When to talk? All such things to be noted by them. Some types of speeches are protected by the National Labor Relations Act. But still no right to free speeches in the private work environments.

Tips by Leaders

To encourage good communication levels, team leaders have to come up with some tips for their teammates, says HRavailable:

• Respect: Respect others’ viewpoints and consider accordingly. Ask for clarification if you are not clear and give space for them to come up with opportunities. Don’t question them in their views but ask politely for elaborating their ideas.
• Agree: It’s common to have different views and opinions in a company. So instead of sticking to disagreeable points start to agree to disagree if it is wrong. But before that check the idea with your team leaders too.
• Time: When one matter passes another rises. It’s the law of nature. So, stick to the time instead of wasting it simply.
• Calculated: While dealing with sensitive matters, various emotions may arise and sometimes unable to control. It is better to avoid sudden reactions.

Conclusion

It’s natural to speak up with common topics. But avoiding sensitive ones creates a better working environment. This might be difficult for some people but when a company regulates strict orders it needs to be followed. HRavailable suggests to built up good ‘not to say’ lessons to your employees.
