Germs in the Workplace

The most efficient companies are the ones who are normally most profitable. Unfortunately we are all human and no one is perfect, so what can happen in a workplace is that one or two staff members become like a germ and become very contagious with their negativity or gossip or anything else that may not promote productivity and efficiency in the work place. This one germ person can transform a healthy workplace into an unhealthy environment.

So how can you avoid this scenario. Well I was in a workplace once where the whole accounts department were all sick and it was end of month so they were doing the  “I am dedicated and still trooping along for the company” but at the same time risking the health of the rest of the staff. This boss got the germ spray and walked up and down the hallway and into their cubicles and shamelessly sprayed the de-germing spray and to be honest I was in an adjoining office and I felt a lot more comfortable that the germs had been contained.

If only managers had the courage to do this exactly with germ staff members. I don’t mean actually spray them, I mean communicate with them and give them the opportunity to end the germish behaviour and set a tight deadline for change and improvement.

A positive work culture is so important for efficiency and productivity and it is critical that staff have the skills to manage these germ characters. Through completing one of my 2 hour courses on managing difficult behaviour you to can develop the skills to help in situations like this.

Focussing on too many things

I am a mother of two young children and I will often go into a room and find my unfinished projects like half folded laundry or a half made drink or my half drunk shake for my breakfast. Why does this happen? Is this because I have baby brain, or is it because I have a 4 month old and a 3 year old who occasionally require my immediate attention?

I certainly like to multi task but it isn’t uncommon for me to get to my desired destination around the home and stand there and think… what on earth was I going to do in this room. I usually remember after a few seconds, but am sure the reason I forgot is that I am focusing on too many things.

The best way to get results is by specifically focusing on your priorities – so for me right now, my children and husband are my priority. I do however have other things I also need to focus on, so in the recent weeks I have been setting some goals and creating a priority list. One of these priorities for me is to help others and I do this through helping them achieve their wellness and weight loss goals.

I really enjoy seeing people I have helped down the street and observing how awesome they look. They feel so much better about themselves, have so much more energy and are so much healthier.

If you want to lose weight and get paid to do it, then please contact me and I will be happy to get your started.

We will start out by focusing on losing your weight and then change the priority and focus on how to make money sharing your success with others.
