Office "hazing"


Office If you do some "old"


So, you came to a new job. And there you met the team, which has already formed their relationship. And what to do if you in there? The main thing is not to panic and hold a letter of resignation. To restore peace and tranquility in the workplace is quite real.





According to the laws of the pack


Irina worked as personnel Manager in a Bank. In the end, she was tired from hard pressure and decided to go into consulting company, which just served the banking sector. It seemed to her that the move will happen painlessly, because the sphere is the same, but the corporate culture softer. At least, so she was told colleagues. In reality, Irina had problems. Colleagues avoided her company in the Smoking-room, was not invited to drink tea, to dinner together. In the end, because of the unfriendly attitude of staff Irina resigned. She returned to the Bank, and about their failure turned to the coach.




The findings were trivial, the problem could have been prevented if the girl asked for advice from a professional on time. Irina came in a completely new corporate environment, but habit had maintained a strict suit, very business-like style of communication, punctual relation to working time, which was not taken in a consulting company.




It is people - we don't love those who are different from us. Some people lucky and after a few months, safely survived the adaptation period, he joins a new team, some people prefer the dismissal. And this is not surprising, because the victim of mobbing, the person experiences constant discomfort. Rather than delve into the specifics of working, he spends time and energy on their own protection. In turn, and colleagues do not work, and come up with another snare for "white crow". Mobbing is reflected throughout the company: falling productivity and interest in the case, the staff and management are provided incorrect information.




Anyway, the test passes each. Perhaps this is normal, if not go to extremes. In that case, if the team has worked well together, all the processes established and newbie accustomed to live and to act on other laws, it can cause a rift in the team. Even in the animal world in the flock take not of all, but only "their". The existing team, as a single organism. It is already distributed roles, requirements personal qualities and appearance of the participants. And the main reason of "baiting" a new employee can be a mismatch of his style of thinking and even appearance with the standards that are accepted in the group.





For a place under the sun


But there are other reasons harassment. In the era of fierce competition with each new employee old-timers see a real or potential threat. Who knows what the "Varyag"? And if it will work better members of the old team? It is possible that the boss decides to fire the veterans. Fearing for his well-being, employees are trying to quickly get rid of the beginner. To do this, use a variety of methods: boycott, neglect, ridicule.





Who's new


Victims of mobbing are often not only employees, but also leaders. For example, because of the irrepressible desire to implement their own methods and principles. The policy of radical change is doomed to natural resistance. New chef, who has not yet managed to gain credibility and to enlist the support of top management, risks to face a lot of problems: this "forgetfulness" of subordinates, and the provision of false information, and other "tricks".




Victor, the new CEO of a large enterprise, after the appointment has decided to show everyone who's boss, and that now everything will be new. He instructed the HR Director to control labor discipline, to fight against official abuse, IT Director to ensure information security and implement an information system to provide control over financial flows. It would seem that everything was in motion: weekly planning meetings all reported on this task. But when the most Viktor had to report the owners of the company were shocked - profitability fell sharply. Further, the General fate was predetermined.




If you were to place such a leader, the first thing you should do is to collect your new team and tell him why you're here, what and how are you going to do, and what will be the answer. And, really, the first - not a week or a month after you start working, and not after the trial period (which you may not pass if you do not reckon with the opinion of his staff), and the first day in a new place.




In companies with a strong corporate culture usually there is a system of adaptation of the personnel. You spend all the rooms, will introduce, will give a beautiful folder with printouts corporate mission on good paper. Will attach to you mentor, whose responsibilities will be to help you. When he would have time for it. Therefore, the fate of the new you will most likely not be avoided, and you will still need to build relationships with the staff themselves.





The best defense - attack?


Most employers recognised that a healthy atmosphere in the team means to them much more than the presence of an excellent specialist, behavior which causes the indignation of the masses. Such people prefer to leave. And if the attacks are unfounded and the company risks losing its really valuable Pro because of sklonosti colleagues? The beginner should study the techniques of discussion, methods of psychological protection, methods of manipulation. The best defense is attack. In particular, professional discredit the attacker, since, as a rule, provocateurs very jealous of their professional reputation. Result: consensus in the negotiations, cooperation and the exchange of ideas. Or, at least, tacit neutrality. In any case, the employee would be to decide he is ready to confront the mobbing or not.





The consultant


Nikolai Noritsyn, psychotherapist:




- If you are directed mobbing, do not think that you have nothing to do with it. Yes, this phenomenon is often triggered by problems in the management of the company, but why the negative crowd spilled it on you?




To deal with self-blame, of course, is not necessary, however, some analysis of the situation, environment and self (maybe with the help of a specialist) will not be superfluous. Do it now to a new place not to provoke the same kind of aggression in his address.




- Strive to become the undisputed professional in your field. In addition, you must be clear about their direct responsibilities that you must fulfill.




- Communicate with new colleagues evenly as possible and formally polite. Do not try to immediately impose their emotional location, to delve into the inner disassembly or attract undue attention extravagant behavior.




- Do not stop to observe what is happening on your work in General and around you in particular. You will always be able to see and hear a bit more if you learn silently watching the events and, of course, analyze the received information. Thus, the intelligence, and even such who knows how to use it, become a victim of mobbing is practically no danger!
