COOPERATION
Teamwork involves combining the efforts of two or
more people to accomplish a task or achieve a goal.
For a team to function effectively, each team member
must understand the purpose or goals of the team.
Each member of the team must accept responsibility
for completing his or her duties and communicate
clearly with other team members.
Team members need not necessarily come from a
single department.

CONFIDENTIALITY
As an office worker, you may come into contact
with confidential information as you process the
mail, prepare documents, or handle records.
Revealing confidential information may cause
harm to the company or its employees or
customers.
In some cases, information is confidential only
for a period of time. Later, when decisions are
firm, information that was earlier restricted may
be wisely distributed.

AVOIDING GOSSIP
Informal communications are common in an
organization.
The informal network by which employees
communicate in an unofficial manner is
sometimes called the “grapevine”.
Unfortunately, rumors and gossips are often
spread by employees .
35
OSM403/HR
(CONT’D)
Rumours and gossip may be harmful to the
company or its employees.
Use discretion in your informal
communication with others.
Do not discuss personal issues or affairs of
fellow employees.
Think carefully about the information to be
shared with others.

Look for solutions – Brainstorm with
coworkers to find ways to resolve the
conflict.
Be diplomatic – Explain how resolving the
conflict is of benefit to others. Focus on
finding a solution rather than placing a
blame.
Compromise – When appropriate, be
willing to compromise to resolve a conflict.

(CONT’D)
This difference of opinion will be revealed
at some point and may lead to conflict
between the employee and a manager.
To avoid such a situation, actively seek
feedback on your work from your manager
regularly.
Ask specific questions to determine
whether the quality and quantity of your
work meet your manager’s expectations.
45
OSM403/HR
(CONT’D)
If problems develop with your work that will
cause missed deadlines or results different
from what your manager expects, keep your
manager informed as events happen.
This will help avoid conflicts between you and
your manager.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT
52
OSM403/HR
SEXUAL HARASSMENT-CONT’D
Three criteria for sexual harassment are set
forth:
1. Submission to the sexual conduct is made
either implicitly or explicitly as a condition of
employment.
2. Employment decisions affecting the
recipient are made on the basis of the
recipient’s acceptance or rejection of the
sexual conduct.
3. The conduct has the intent or effect of
substantially interfering with an
individual’s work performance.
53
OSM403/HR
SEXUAL HARASSMENT-CONT’D
When sexual harassment is based on the
first two criteria, it is referred to as quid
pro quo sexual harassment.
Quid pro quo is Latin for “this for that”. It
is a TRADE.
The other criterion is referred to as hostile
environment sexual harassment. It is the
creation of an uncomfortable working
environment.
54
OSM403/HR
Do’s
Educate management and employees as to
what sexual harassment is. Let everyone
know that sexual harassment will not be
tolerated.
Designate a person or office where
employees can bring concerns and
complaints about sexual harassment.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT-DONT’S

routine part of the work environment.
Allow employment decisions to be made on the
bases of any reasons other than merit.
Allow social behavior to become confused with
behavior in the workplace.
