Although it is practically impossible to make your workplace free from the politics, but the organisation and the employees can follow certain ethics for themselves to make their workplace healthier:
- Avoid distorting or manipulating the truth and the facts.
- Be yourself. Don’t have different faces to suit different people and different situations.
- Be fair in your dealings. Take decisions based on other’s performance and not on the basis of your relations with them.
- Be flexible, approachable and accessible to others. Rigidity can isolate you.
- Communicate – Lack of proper communication is the root cause of most of the problems. Therefore, ensure a timely and open communication system. Hiding information, rumors or distorted information can aggravate the situation and problem. Proper communication will also help to combat the effect of gossip.
- Have a broader perspective. Don’t work to satisfy your ego every time. Give a fair chance to everyone to put forward their thoughts.
- Last but not the least; be clear in your conscious. Don’t compromise on your morals and ethics and, don’t hesitate to apologize if you realize that you are wrong.
