Sensitiewe kwessies in die werksplek / Sensitive issues in the work place


Na aanleiding van 'n luisteraar se navraag verlede week, fokus ons more weer op Empatie In Die Werksplek.

Die probleem
Hierdie luisteraar wou weet hoe sy dit kan hanteer wanneer 'n kollega in haar persoonlike ruimte inbeweeg.  Dit wil voorkom asof hier 'n kultuur verskil is wat sulke aangeleenthede dinkwels moeilik maak om te hanteer.  In Plaas daarvan om eerlik te kommunikeer, verkies mense dikwels om die ander party te vermy, omdat hulle dink dat om die situasie aan te spreek moontlik tot 'n groter probleem kan lei.

Die bestuur het ook 'n rol hier te speel.  Dit is belangrik dat die bestuur betrokke raak en 'n poging aanwend om 'n werksomgewing te skep waar werknemers vry voel om te kommunikeer oor kwessies wat hul verhoudings en produktiwiteit kan affekteer.


More kyk ons hierna: 
Die rol van agtergrond, lewenservaring, kultuur en ander diversiteitselemente.

Hoe kommunikeer ons ook oor daardie sensitiewe kwessies, met die nodige respek en empatie, sonder om op mekaar se tone te trap?


Hoofstuk 7 - Verhoudings in die Werksplek.


Elke Dinsdag klim ons In Mekaar Se Skoene op RSG, iewers tussen 09h00 & 10h00, tussen 100 & 104 fm.

Every Tuesday we get into the shoes of others on Afrikaans radio station: RSG, somewhere between 09h00 & 10h00, between 100 & 104 fm.
Elke week fokus ons op 'n ander kwessie en kyk na maniere waarop dit beter hanteer of opgelos kan word, deur empatie in gedagte te hou.

................................................


Due to a listener's question via text message, we'll be visiting the workplace again tomorrow morning.

The problem:
This listener wanted to know how they could deal with a colleague who regularly crosses the boundry of her personal space.  I got the impression that there is a cultural difference as well, that seems to contribute to the inability to communicate openly and honestly.

People often refuse to communicate over such sensitive issues, because they fear that the situation might be worsened.  This may lead to you avoiding the other party altogether.

What is the role of management in such a situation?  Management need to be involved with creating a workplace environment where people are free to talk about such sensitive issues with respect and empathy.  Neglecting this, may lead to employees feeling unhappy and this may have a negative effect on their overall productivity.

Tomorrow morning I'll focus on the following
The role of background, culture, life experiences and other elements of diversity.

I'll also look at how to communicate over such sensitive issues with respect and empathy.

Every week we focus on a different issue or relationship challenge and look at how it can be resolved with empathy.


What is your empathy- or relationship challenge?
Do you have a relationship challenge and are wondering how you could resolve it with empathy?  If yes, then send and email to Martelize brink@rsg.co.za  or send a text message to the RSG studio, to 33343.  

We may be focusing on your challenge next time.  You can stay anonymous.

Text messages are charged at R1, 50 per message.
