Hi Team, In My organization, there are two employees working in different departments. His name is 'X', and her name is 'Y'. There is another person called 'Z' (he is not working in my organization) who is Mr. X's best friend. Ms. Y & Z have been in relation more than 2 years +, and due to some personal reasons, they both got separated.
As stated earlier, Mr. Z and Mr. X are best friends. Now, Mr X is spreading rumours in the office about Ms Y. Ms Y is totally upset, and sometimes, she argues with her fellow colleagues about those rumours.
Please suggest to me how to take this issue forward.

Dear Ganesh,
This issue is related to the lack of a business etiquette culture in the company. Organise the business etiquette training programme and tell the trainer to focus on not discussing personal matters in the office. Gossiping while in the office is always bad.
Employees face a lot of challenges at home. Not all homes have harmonious relationships among the family members. Against this backdrop, to release the stress, an employee may voluntarily disclose domestic matters in the office. However, the listener has to maintain a discreet silence and not make a wide broadcast of it.
Additionally, a topic on office romance may be handled. When two young persons of the opposite sex work together, there is every possibility of love blooming. However, the pair has to demonstrate prudence and not display affection to each other while in the office.
Lastly, the training should focus on the importance of time. The employees are paid for the work they do and the time they spend in the office. Therefore, every minute belongs to the company. Light-hearted banter or gossiping has no place while working.
Thanks,
