Discuss appropriate conversations in the workplace. What questions should you ask to determine whether conversations are appropriate?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Consideration should be given to appropriate conversations in the workplace. Personal conversations between coworkers pertaining to private matters should never be discussed in main office areas. This includes the reception area, the front office, the back office, hallways, and examination rooms. Personal conversations shared with coworkers should remain confidential and not be repeated without permission. There are a few questions to ask yourself to determine whether conversations are appropriate such as: can this conversation be discussed with the entire medical office, could anyone be offended by what is being said, would this conversation be given a "PG" rating, and would I feel comfortable if this conversation was published in a local newspaper available for everyone to read?
