Five easy steps to stay safe: Do not play or get played in a professional environment – Part 3

There are always informants at work places. They can be in the camouflage of a colleague, a subordinate or even the connoisseurs’ staff. Do everything in the open and never let anyone point a finger at you.

Watch you Word

Corporate sector takes the conversations very seriously. Abrasive language in common use is a sin at work place, especially in front of female staff, it always ends up in lawsuits and firing. However, even among fellow men, refrain from abusive language as it has the tendency of uttering something offensive to someone present in the gathering or someone who is more important to the company than you are. You might get stuck in the jam for this, for long.

Networking

This is the most discussed way to keep you safe in a work place. However, do never take this as a political tactic to make your way through to the top of the ladder. This is as defensive as it has political tendencies.

Networking means keeping good terms with your employers and colleagues. Always get time to have chitchat with your superiors and share thoughts with each other. This is the easiest way to know each other in a working environment.

This helps you a lot in the eye of your boss if anything goes south and you take the centre stage. Networking is also important in job opportunities as it helps you to meet different people giving you the chance to express your potential to others.

Keeping the work place clean does not always mean filling up the garbage can to the neck but it also means that you take every important step with ultra care. Always be sure of what you are doing and be honest in your conduct with fellow employees and higher-ups.
