Office Politics

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
