People were frequently maligned and hurt and if gossip and rumors were rampant it reflected more on the employee culture than on the organizational as a whole.\u00a0 Along with the benefits of instant and expansive communication that is the hallmark of our technological era is the potential for gossip and rumors to be significantly more injurious.\u00a0 Think common cold in the school yard versus dangerous virus in a high density global community.\u00a0 Consider the contemporary terminology \u201cgoing viral\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Every employee in your workforce has the capacity, if relying more on misguided instinct than sound judgment, to become a transmitter of misinformation.\u00a0 Nearly all of us are now equipped with belt-anchored communications centers, armed with voice transmission, instant messaging and email capabilities.\u00a0 Using Twitter, Facebook and an arsenal of social media options, the modern office has become a viral Petri dish.<\/p>\n<p>What this means for contemporary organizations, private or public, is that formal and informal leadership must stress responsible communication.\u00a0\u00a0 What once may have constituted idle gossip, pesky rumors or disinformation easily corrected or subject to short shelf life and limited damage now is far more destructive.\u00a0 Targets of malicious gossip can be emotionally crippled in a \u201cflash\u201d, leading to psychological disability or even workplace violence.\u00a0 Misinformation about organizational policies, actions and motives can spread with the speed and destructive force of a wildfire.\u00a0 In the private sector the result can be plummeting stock values, and in the public sector a loss of public confidence in government\u2019s ability to maintain order and provide essential services.\u00a0 In all cases the effects are destabilizing and not always easy to recover from.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses and government agencies must give communications and information management the same importance and attention that they place on their security and financial systems.\u00a0 Workplace posters discouraging gossip and rumors may no longer be enough.\u00a0 Training, orientations and staff discussions that address the profound adverse impacts of perpetuating office myths and willingly spreading undocumented and unverified information should be a priority.\u00a0 Indifference should be replaced with concern and discipline when employees are discovered communicating in an irresponsible or intentionally harmful manner. An organization\u2019s integrity, respect and viability today depend as much on internal communications as on marketing or external communications.\u00a0 While it once may have been sufficient to have a \u201cPublic Information Officer\u201d it is now necessary to have a \u201cDirector of Communications\u201d who can not only write press releases but also create policies and practices that promote responsible communications across the organization.\u00a0 Trust is the foundation of leadership, management, product sales or service delivery, and honest, factual and reliable communication is the basis of all trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historically, gossip and rumors in the workplace have been vigorously discouraged principally because of their harmful effects on employees and the distractions they cause.\u00a0 The conduit for such idle and mischievous banter was confined largely to hallway whispers and water cooler conversation.
