Office Politics

read ( words)


Office politics! It's just another way of saying: "The employees are not getting along!"

When so much of a company's success depends on the employees' ability to work together as a cohesive team, it is critical that people understand and appreciate the differences in each other.

Symptoms of Office Politics:

  • Conflict
  • Stress
  • Job Dissatisfaction
  • Poor communication skills
    • The Results:

      • High employee turnover
      • Reduced productivity and profitability
        • The Solution:

          • Improve employee communication and understanding
            • The Disc Classic behavioral assessment is widely used by the nation's largest companies to improve the working relationship amongst its employees. The disc profile provides a nonjudgmental way to explore the "Dimensions of Behavior" across these 4 dimensions: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness.

              • D types like to be in control, and are direct, impatient, and strong-willed.
              • I types are people-oriented and are expressive, outgoing, and they need recognition.
              • S types are stable, predictable, and they like to work behind the scenes. They are good listeners and are sympathetic.
              • C types are analytical, and concerned with quality. They like to plan ahead and are systematic in their way of doing things.
                • When employees understand the different work styles and how best to relate to each style, the "Office Politics" may be a thing of the past.
