Being Nice In The Workplace

Being nice in the workplace is all about balance.   It costs nothing to be nice to fellow employees.   Yet, sometimes we bend over backwards to not hurt someone feelings and end up sacrificing productivity.

Being nice does not mean that you agree with everything being said.   It is more about how you process and respond to information presented.   Responding in a positive and respectful manner is essential – negativity stifles innovation.

Feeling good and going to work with a positive attitude contributes greatly to a productive environment.   There is a strong correlation in being happy and being productive.    This approach also breeds one of the strongest characteristic in a good company – trust.

Lastly, their is nothing wrong with this spilling over into your personal life as well.
