Loss of Focus
Drama is distracting, therefore when issues arise among individuals in the workplace chances are it won't just be those directly involved who will lose focus on their jobs. Not only will management and team leaders find themselves investing time in conflict resolution, they will also have to spend a great deal of time stamping out idle gossip, all of which takes attention away from the daily tasks which keeps a business afloat.

Retention
Constant negativity can be draining on an individual's mental well-being and even have an impact on them outside of the workplace. Being surrounded by negativity can increase stress and cause an individual to feel abandoned, especially if they feel management aren't doing enough to resolve the underlying issues. Many individuals see the only way out as to leave a business, which can have a serious impact on a business's retention. In the long-term, this reduced rate of retention can lead to a business developing a poor reputation as an unhappy place to work which can slow recruitment potential.

Solutions
At the first rumble of negativity, management should make it a priority to meet with their workforce and learn about any issues effecting morale. Promoting an open door policy where individuals' feel able to talk through issues is vital to nipping negativity in the bud. Improving internal relationships can also help, by creating a stronger sense of togetherness and breaking down the barriers created across different departments. Holding regular training sessions and retreats, or even organising events away from the workplace can decrease workplace stress and help to build a new and inclusive company culture.
