    Best Practices for Confidential Conversations in the Workplace

    Optimal Locations for Confidential Conversations

    Choosing the right setting:

    When initiating a conversation, it's crucial to select a suitable environment:

    • Plan ahead and find a quiet, private room away from distractions.
    • Avoid areas with CCTV coverage to ensure privacy.
    • Ensure there are no interruptions such as phone calls or knocks on the door.
    • If in an open plan office, have a legitimate reason to see them to avoid speculation.
    • Make the person feel comfortable and reassured about confidentiality.

    Places to Avoid for Confidential Conversations

    Locations to steer clear of:

    • Open plan offices where conversations can be overheard by colleagues.
    • Corridors or hallways with passing traffic.
    • Outdoor areas where sound carries and privacy is compromised.
    • Anywhere the person may feel uneasy or worried about confidentiality.
