I've personally seen people gossiping about one of my colleagues who was one of the star performers in our organization. She did everything that she could do to stop gossips by having one on one meeting with the main gossip monger and even by taking the issue to the head of the organization but all her efforts went vain. She was left with only one option and that was quit her job. The head of the organization could have very well controlled the situation but didn't do only because the main culprit was in his good books. Eventually, the company lost one of its best employees.
What the HR Depts need to ponder over here is that it is easy to lose good employees but very difficult to retain them. Any problem of this nature must be sorted out at the initial satges itself. It is very easy to hurt your peers and employees by this act but very difficult to patch up if the damage is beyond repair. Nice presentation though, thanx for sharing the same.. Regards, donna
