  4. In every community, there are groups of people who have bonded over time or because of common interests. In the office environment, there are co-workers who became friends and some with strong relationships. That is not a bad thing, if with good intentions. Clique-forming groups in the workplace can create an unhealthy working environment and productivity issues. Cliques can cause a division in the workplace, hurt working relationships and alliances that create a negative atmosphere. It's important for management to be aware of his/her working "community" and address any issues that may arise.

  5. 10 Steps to an Amazing Brand via @davidbrier

    Via David Brier @davidbrier (Twitter)

    1. Pick one thing you do well.
    2. Isolate WHO you can help with that product or service, people who are passionate 
 about what you’ll offer.
    3. Do it better than anyone else.
    4. Craft your story so your story’s better than anyone else’s.
    5. Never let complacency be your master. Instead be the master of 
 any complacency.
    6. Stay hungry (and innocent enough) to notice initiative wherever it shows up and utilise it.
    7. Achieve milestones of greatness using how much you helped others as your benchmark.
    8. Help others better 
 and more effectively 
 than others already do.
    9. Always be on your
 guard to terminate stagnancy wherever you go.
    10. Once you’ve done something amazing, use that new standard as your “new normal” and raise the 
 bar from there.

  6. We found that many organizations need managerial, customer service and conflict resolutions skills. Many organizations have employees who struggle to get along, communication problems, collaborations issues, no team effort, all of which encourages office politics. Professional training and development will help address and solve the issues.

  8. Encourage respect in the workplace by setting the tone of a healthy and functional professional working environment. Set expectation in the workplace by having employees be respectful, cooperative and professional. Most companies measure this by having performance evaluations and enforcing policies that will alleviate disrespectful and troublesome employees. Other policies to consider are politics, harassment, conduct and discrimination in the workplace. There should be ZERO TOLERANCE for this behavior in the workplace.

  9. Like any community, you have occupants with different views, opinions, backgrounds, personalities, ethnicity, religions, values and passions. The office environment is no different. In order to have a healthy working environment, there needs to be training and effective communication for the employees on these issues and how it impact on others. This can be facilitated with retreats, assessments and activities.
