Now that RTO is happening, we are all back together in the office again!

One big happy family – right? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦In some instances we are spending a lot of time together! 🌟 It can be an eye opener to again see what it means to have someone in your space again and all that comes with it! 🥸

We’ve all been there – dealing with those little workplace habits that can really get under our skin. Let’s chat about some of the most common ones and how we can work together more mindfully. 💼🕶️

🚫 According to Dr Marie McIntyre, Your Office Coach, unprofessional behaviors like constant gossiping or being chronically late can be major mood dampeners. But guess what? You control these behaviors directly! Doesn’t take too much effort (or personal introspection) to be on time or not talk about people when they aren’t in the room.💪

🤯 Ever felt the frustration when a colleague interrupts your flow? According to Indeed, interrupting others during meetings is a top pet peeve. Remember, respectful communication keeps the work vibes positive! 🗣️🔊

😬 We’ve all encountered the infamous “Reply All” button fiasco. RD.com lists this as one of the most irritating habits. Let’s be email-savvy and ensure we’re only looping in the right folks. (Not necessarily an RTO item, but common anyway.)📧🔗

📊 Statistics show that 78% of employees are annoyed by coworkers who don’t clean up communal spaces, as reported by Indeed. This is an easy one. Don’t be a slob. A tidy workspace promotes harmony, so let’s all do our part in maintaining a clean environment! 🧹🪣

Ready to rise above the fray? Here’s how:

🧘‍♂️ Practice patience: Take a deep breath before reacting to annoying habits. Respond with kindness and empathy.

📢 Open communication: If something’s truly bothering you, address it calmly and professionally with your colleague.

🚀 Lead by example: Demonstrate professionalism through your own actions, encouraging a positive work culture.

🤝 Collaborate effectively: When working on projects, establish clear guidelines to minimize misunderstandings.

I’m sure everyone has their own stories, but this is just a lighthearted first stab. So let’s turn these pesky habits into opportunities for growth! Remember, our workplace is a diverse ecosystem, and embracing differences can lead to innovation and success. 🌈
