The most annoying behaviors in the workplace include: loudness, gossip, bathroom\/eating habits, and email\/meeting behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA, and human resources expert, says, \u201cIt makes sense that loudness tops the list of most annoying behaviors, because many offices are now embracing an open-floor plan. As a result, it can be difficult to retreat from noise or find peace and quiet to do your work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson also says that tech-based missteps also rate high on the list. \u201cPeople who hit \u2018reply all\u2019 when it is not necessary to do so, or who send kissy-face emojis or use text speak in their emails (such as \u2018LMK\u2019 or \u2018TTYL\u2019) tend to get under other people\u2019s skin,\u201d he says. \u201cIt shows a lack of professionalism and an assumption of familiarity that can feel invasive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another new issue that many employees are facing is related to allergens, such as a person who might have a sensitivity to certain fragrances, yet they are sitting close by a coworker who douses themselves in floral perfume every morning.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are employees\u2019 options if they find their coworker annoying?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to a small matter such as an issue with a person\u2019s speaking volume or if they have a habit of eating smelly tuna at their cubicle, the best thing to do is to approach the person one-on-one. Keep it light, and you can even be a bit self-deprecating,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cMention that you have a health issue which makes your nose sensitive to fragrance and can even lead to serious migraines, or explain that you struggle to concentrate when music is playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, if the employee won\u2019t compromise, you are going to need to speak to H.R., says Wilson. \u201cIf you have a suggestion box or an anonymous form, you could select this option if you are concerned with anonymity. Some offices now even have an online suggestion box where people can send in anonymous questions and comments to H.R., and these can be very invaluable. Human Resources can often easily find a solution, whether it\u2019s moving your cubicle farther away from a loud-talking employee or instituting \u2018quiet hours\u2019 or allowing noise-canceling headphones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Wilson says, some annoying behavior from coworkers is unavoidable, but for the most part, employees can work together to create an enjoyable and pleasant environment for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H.R. expert reveals what employees need to know about their rights A new survey of 2,000 employees has revealed that 100% of people say that their coworkers are annoying.\u00a0 Simply put: We all have a coworker that gets on our&hellip;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2018\/05\/08\/the-new-rules-of-office-etiquette\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-human-resources"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Employco USA","author_link":"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/author\/employcousa\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
