The No Complaining Rule

Negativity costs the U.S. Economy between $250 to $300

Billion every year in lost productivity.

90% of doctor visits are stress related.

The #1 cause of office stress is coworkers and their

complaining.

Negativity affects morale, performance and productivity.

One negative person can create a miserable office environment for everyone else.

Negative Emotions are associated with the

following:

• Decreased life span and longevity.

• Increased risk of heart attack.

• Increased risk of stroke

• Greater Stress.

• Less Energy.

• More Pain.

• Fewer Friends.

• Less Success.

breed, grow or survive.

Positive leadership is essential.

Our culture and people are a priority on

all levels of our organization.

character and teamwork

Are you A

Complainer ?

35-30 = Major Complainer

29-24 = You are a Complainer

23-18 = You’re in the middle of the road

17-12 = Complaining isn’t an issue

11-6 = You almost never complain

People are not allowed to mindlessly complain to their

coworkers. If they have a problem or complaint about their job,

their organization, their customers, or anything else, they are

encouraged to bring the issue to their manager or someone

who is in a position to address the complaint.

However, the employee or team member must also have

thought of one or two possible solutions to the complaint and

share that as well.
