Let’s talk about managing workplace rumors and dealing with gossip offshore.
It’s a sad truth that most people indulge in rumors and gossip. When put on a ship, isolated and bored, the rumorville can sometimes be quite busy. If you have found yourself as the subject of rumors, how did you handle it? If you gossiped about someone, why did you do it? If you heard a tall tale and did nothing about it, why didn’t you intervene to stop it? This can all spiral to create a toxic workplace culture offshore.
Today on the Women Offshore Podcast, explore ways to handle rumors on board and stop the gossip with Erica D’Eramo from Two Piers Consulting, a public-benefit corporation tackling diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. Erica analyzes this subject from all angles, including how gossipers and bystanders can take positive action.
