Dear Senior,
Rumors usually affect employees' morale and their productivity. What are the disadvantages of rumors and gossip in organizations/workplaces, and what are the proper procedures to avoid such issues in the workplace?
I would appreciate your prompt response.

Hello friend,
These are issues that relate to "VALUES" of an organization. It is necessary that top management discusses and releases a value statement which describes what should be the behavior of people. The values statement should be finalized through the involvement of as many employees as possible. This will then be "SHARED VALUES".
If "developing trust" is accepted as a shared value - and rumors and gossip will have no place in the organization. There is a need for right ROLE MODELING - the leaders/seniors at all levels should demonstrate the value - so that all others will follow. Therefore, rumors and gossip should be strictly avoided by seniors.
When these values get imbibed in all people, there will be a culture of efficiency and productivity. Leadership along with HR should focus on imbibing the values for sustainable growth of the company.
