Apparently office small talk plays a role in our well being, as it is said to be both uplifting and distracting. A Rutgers University professor tells New York Times in a soon-to-be-published paper that employees who engage in more office small talk feel more appreciated and connected. “It’s a paradox, she said, that something so superficial (and sometimes, let’s face it, annoying) can be associated with higher well-being, happiness and teamwork.” The recommendation is for managers to dedicate a bit of time before virtual meetings to prioritize casual conversations.
I totally get that. Sanity break. Time to laugh, take the lid off the pot, so to speak. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
