KEEPING THE BUSYBODY BUSY

A Busybody is always interested in what is going on with her co-workers. While she may have no problems getting work done, her productivity would increase if she focused more on her own work than on what everyone on the floor was doing.

1. Don't attempt to make her feel excluded.

2. Do engage her in work-related discussions and occurrences.

3. Do find ways to make the Busybody feel involved but at the same time productive.

4. Do try and assign tasks that will utilize the Busybody's natural sense of curiosity.

5. Don't let the Busybody intimidate or make others in the office feel invaded or uncomfortable.
