Mind Your Ps & Qs: Getting Rid of Gossip & Other Negative Behaviors at Work

Most of us are curious about each other, and we like to know what is going on. But when this curiosity turns negative, workplace rumors can be devastating. They are often the source of employee anxiety and tension, lack of productivity, low morale, divisiveness, and an erosion of trust. This workshop teaches employees how to create an environment where team spirit and trust are high and negative behaviors, such as gossip, are low. Participants learn the difference between gossiping and reporting a complaint, how to identify gossip and deal with it effectively, and how to create a workplace that is safe and free of negative talk.


This workshop will be facilitated by Jennifer Jacobs (Human Resource & Management Consultant, EAP Counselor, Workshop Facilitator)

Jennifer owns and manages THRIVEeap. She has lived in Windham County most of her life and has a deep connection to the community. In 2014 she took over the former practice, Consultants for Workplace and Family Health, and transformed it into THRIVEeap. Jennifer very intentionally chose the word “thrive” for the work that the company does. She firmly believes that with the right resources, support, and opportunities, anyone can “flourish, grow, and prosper.” She is committed to helping others do just that, by increasing access to mental health support through Employee Assistance and making places of work the best they can be.
