Ninda (Slander): Cultivating a Respectful Workplace

The Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred text of Sikhism, emphasizes the importance of Ninda (Slander). It goes beyond simply avoiding gossip; it's a call to cultivate a respectful and positive work environment. In today's interconnected world, where negativity can spread quickly, Ninda offers valuable guidance for fostering trust, collaboration, and a more fulfilling work experience.

The Harms of Ninda:

Ninda, or slander, involves spreading negativity about someone, often through gossip, rumours, or unfounded criticism. It can damage reputations, erode trust, and create a toxic work environment. Here's how Ninda can be detrimental:

Reduced Morale: When negativity spreads, it can demotivate employees and create a climate of fear and anxiety.

Damaged Relationships: Gossip can damage trust between colleagues and make collaboration difficult.

Loss of Productivity: Engaging in or being around negativity can distract from work and reduce productivity.

Legal Issues: In some cases, slander can lead to legal repercussions.

The Power of Positivity:

Ninda encourages a shift towards positive communication. By focusing on the good in others and fostering a respectful atmosphere, we create a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported. Here are the benefits of a positive work environment:

Increased Morale: A positive environment boosts employee morale and satisfaction, leading to higher productivity and engagement.

Stronger Relationships: Respectful communication fosters trust and collaboration, leading to stronger relationships between colleagues.

Improved Problem-Solving: A positive environment encourages open communication and allows for better problem-solving as a team.

Reduced Stress: A workplace free from negativity fosters a sense of well-being and reduces stress levels for employees.

Practicing Ninda in the Workplace:

Here are some ways to embody the spirit of Ninda and cultivate a respectful workplace:

Think Before You Speak: Consider the impact of your words before speaking. Is what you're about to say helpful or constructive?

Assume Positive Intent: Often, perceived negativity stems from misunderstandings. Try to understand the situation and the person's intent before jumping to conclusions.

Address Concerns Directly: If you have an issue with a colleague, address it directly with them in a respectful and private manner.

Focus on the Positive: Make a conscious effort to compliment colleagues, celebrate successes, and offer encouragement.

Be a Role Model: Set a positive example by practicing respectful communication and avoiding negativity yourself.

Ninda Toolkit for a Respectful Workplace:

The Three Sieve Test: Before sharing information about someone, consider the "Three Sieve Test" attributed to Socrates. Ask yourself: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? If the answer isn't yes to all three, don't share it.

Positive Gossip: Instead of gossiping about others, make a conscious effort to spread positive stories about colleagues and their accomplishments.

Assume Positive Intent: Don't jump to conclusions about someone's motives. Give colleagues the benefit of the doubt and try to understand their perspective.

Focus on Solutions: If you witness negativity or conflict, don't just complain. Look for ways to contribute to a solution.

Be a Role Model: By consistently demonstrating respectful communication, you can inspire others to do the same.

Remember, change starts with you. By embodying the principles of Ninda, you can create a ripple effect, inspiring others to do the same. A more respectful and positive workplace benefits everyone, leading to increased collaboration, improved productivity, and a more enjoyable work experience.

The Guru Granth Sahib offers this powerful teaching:

"Speak sweetly, even in anger. Sweet speech is always pleasing."

Let these words guide your interactions and contribute to building a workplace where respect and positivity flourish.

Ninda is a continuous practice. There will be times when negativity arises. The key is to be mindful of your words and actions, and actively contribute to a more positive and respectful work environment. By following these steps and embodying the spirit of Ninda, you can create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to do their best work.

#RamadanDiaries2019 #Day16 #in_30_words Today, my heart was really upset about the effects of gossiping in our societies. Let us all pray so that each of us get indulged with quality discussion when we meet our friends and family while hiding people's negativities. May Allah protect us.

Gossip! Gossip sucks and it can be so destructive to many of us... no matter if you are a men or women this needs to stop! Have you played the whisper challenge? When you have a group of people sitting in a circle and you whisper something in someone’s ear and the say that thing you said and so on and so forth until the last person has to say what they think you said? Well this is how gossip starts. That’s how relationships are broken everyday. If you have something to say I suggest you talk to them kindly and not talk to someone else about it. Come to that person first and always! Also don’t post your feelings about that person in social media that doesn’t work—it makes things way worst! Just a inspiration for today... #motivationthursday #stopgossiping #gossipkills #beyourselfbekind #bekind #joselynv #beyourselfquotes #love #joy #peace #life #beyourselfie #inspirationquotes #inspirational #inspirationallifequotes #orlando #orlandoflo #sharekindness #kindnessquotes #lifequotes (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJc64MHsSj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wfs8v4dnkvii

Gossip kills

Sick of writers slinging slop out into the www using UNNAMED sources. Unnamed high up sources means the writer is slinging garbage. Stirring the pot, passing along iffy information, if you can't present something truthful with facts...you should just shut up. Gossip kills ratings, like misinterpreting a post or a statement and writing your own interpretation as a news article....referring only to your reading of it....done all the time. Makes me mad.

This is a clip from the video on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/iG_NfS2xYag It’s a simple “Stop Gossip” spell I did for a patron. Enough time has passed now that I can show it. Apparently it helped a lot and got people to stop focusing on this person and stop droning on about them. They probably did NOT start minding their own damn business, because gossipers are too weak to do that. Instead, they more likely focused on a new target to talk about. *Anything* to avoid the pain of looking in the mirror 🙄 #hoodoo #magick #stopgossip #spells #witchcraft #psalmmagic #biblespells #sorcery #MagickalWards #WardingSpells https://www.instagram.com/p/B7o1zgpg1Rp/?igshid=1wivbjsi2ykjm

Don’t be so quick to believe what you hear because lies spread faster than the truth.

Voodoo Mama’s Tapa Boca (Shut Up) Fixed Conjure Candle calls upon San Ramon (St. Raymond), patron saint of gossip and false testimony in the Latin American folk magic tradition. Tapa Boca is designed to address the human propensity for malicious gossip, defamation of character, back-biting, trolling, slander and false testimony in a court of law. Believers burn Tapa Boca Conjure Candles to make those annoying gossipers shut the hell up. 🙊🙊🙊 #whatsinyourconjure #tapaboca #shutup #stopgossip #conjurecandles #candlemagic #voodoomamasconjurecandles #hoodoo #conjure #rootwork #neworleansvoodoo #creolemoon #authordenisealvarado #artistdenisealvarado 🙊🙊🙊 https://www.creolemoon.com/store/p785/tapa-boca-candle.html (at Prescott, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp5Yg23AYMU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dw442d86z9sd

I have decided to draft a new law because the world is so stupid. If your behavior isn’t hurting anyone else, then no one gets an opinion. That’s the law that should be passed! “If ________ does not directly harm another person, animal, or the global physical environment, it is illegal to publicly express an opinion of it. By doing so it violates the individuals right to privacy and the pursuit of happiness- Lynne Anne Campo” There, now everyone go live in peace. Stop judging each other. Make a better world. Stop dividing into groups. Stop worshiping and condemning celebrities at the same time. Help each other. #stopjudging #stopdivision #criticism #bullying #stopgossip #stophate #helpeachother https://www.instagram.com/p/CgKNVe8LMWD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
