Gossip and rumours have the ability to make relationships go kaput. It is therefore, important to not give importance to such rumours and avoid gossiping. Every individual have gone through a phase in their days of adolescence where they were linked with someone and the gossip spread all across the school. The same is with office gossip, if you find yourself trapped in such a situation, this is what you should do:
In this due course, make sure that you do not sound rude or harsh as it can tarnish your image; instead say it with confidence and a sarcastic smile on your face. Laughter can be another expression through which you can acknowledge the truth so that the gossipers feel foolish about themselves for talking about something which does not exist in reality. Moreover, your voice tone has the ability to heat the intensity and accelerate the situation.
In fact, try confronting the person in an easy and simple way. Avoid talking with your emotions being high as it may trigger you to speak what you actually did not mean. Try your best to keep emotions at bay during such situations.
On the other hand, you can ask them to spread across the truth rather than building false and baseless stories.
Resort to honest and transparent communication as it allows free and clear communication. Remind your subordinates that indulging in such activities will not help them to grow in their career. Instead encourage to perform better at work engaging them in work is a brilliant way to do so. When you have something concrete to work on, you tend to waste less time on gossips.
