Have you felt it too? The ‘good morning’ culture is gradually vanishing from the workplace. We don’t realise that by doing so, we’re failing to acknowledge the presence of our colleagues. But do you know that by doing so, you’re inviting in troubles for yourself?
Yes, saying GOOD MORNING is the first thing we should do at work. It’s going to make your day better and others’ as well.
We all start our day with a morning ritual like making a cup of coffee or watering our plants. Lack of such ritual at our workplace can speak volumes about our behaviour. It demonstrates your lack of care.
Saying good morning before starting off your work is a process to make your day at work better. If we can’t even make this simple effort with our co-workers, it says a lot about you.
It only takes 2 seconds to offer your greeting to your co-workers, but the benefits are 5. Here they are.
- It improves the atmosphere of your workplace. It improves communication, which thereby helps a big deal in long run.
- It makes your colleagues feel important You’re working with humans and not bots. Saying ‘good morning’ reflects that you consider them an important part of your day.
- It makes your workplace fair and democratic. If a person ranging from managing director to a cleaner follows this ritual, this means that everyone is treated with equal importance.
- It shows how you feel about your workplace. If you find it difficult to say even ‘hello’ before starting your day at work, then you should start looking for a new job.
- A simple ‘good morning’ can break the ice between colleagues. Imagine how awkward it can get to speak to your colleague later during a day or ask for their help.
So, start the day with a ‘good morning’ to reduce the stress.
