Workplace Cliques

“You can’t sit with us!” This famous quote from the popular 2004 movie, Mean Girls, highlights the negativity and exclusion that can occur when one does not fit into a clique. And, although cliques seem so high school, unfortunately, those behaviors carry over into the workplace. Friendships are encouraged in the workplace, but there is a risk considering cliques can contaminate the entire workplace. Alysa explores friendships vs. cliques, the impact of cliques and exclusion on feelings of loneliness, and what we can do combat a situation that can impact workers emotionally, socially, and in their quest to succeed at their career. www.bestforeverspod.com
