My Partner is Gossiping…
Gossip About a Client
Exit the conversation immediately. Redirect to professionalism: ‘Let’s stay focused — client privacy is non‑negotiable.’ Report the incident to Jennifer privately.
Gossip About a Team Member
Stop the conversation by shifting to work: ‘Let’s keep it respectful and stay on task.’ If it continues, step away and notify Jennifer.
Gossip Happening in Front of a Client
Interrupt instantly and redirect: ‘Let’s stay professional — we can talk about work tasks only.’ Move the team member away from the client and inform Jennifer.
Disciplinary Micro‑Policy (Internal Use)
Gossip is not permitted. If you hear it, disengage immediately, redirect to work, and report it to Jennifer. Repeated gossiping results in corrective action.
