oxygen.

No morning greeting. No acknowledgment that they are sharing the same office Saying‘Good Morning’ should not be difficult. Yet, there is an increasing trend, almost a rebellion, against saying these two simple words to our co-workers. It is not as we were required to salute, bow, kneel or courtesy. Even a casual nod and mumble would be a lot better than the nothing that is now occurring at far too many work sites.  Do not become part of this alarming trend. Experience the power of ‘Good Morning.’  1. It maintains the standards of basic civility that we are all entitled to at work. Like ‘Please’ and ‘Thank You’, these two little words also go a long way towards improving communication and the overall atmosphere. 2. ‘Good Morning’ humanizes our co-workers. We are real people, not just cogs in a pointlessly spinning wheel. Show some humanity. 3.Provides for a more democratic environment, where everyone from the CEO to the mail clerk get to share in a friendly two-second exchange.  4. It is quick (and relatively painless). If it is painful, you should probably be looking for a new job or scheduling time for some serious self-reflection. 5. It is free. 6.Acknowledging the mere presence of someone is interpersonal communications 101. Do not YOU want to be noticed? You might tell yourself otherwise, but at the end of the day, we all want to be recognized. 7.Saying ‘Good Morning’ makes things less awkward when you inevitably have to address your co-worker later in the day. Start the day off on the right foot and avoid potential stresses later in the day. According to Psychology Today, early risers

are more agreeable

than those who prefer the P.M. hours. Morning people also have more stable personalities and lower levels of aggression, supporting the idea that serotonin is involved in keeping both moods and circadian rhythms regular. Gives new meaning to “You Snooze, You Lose.” So if someone is avoiding saying hello in the A.M., you just got a sneak peek into their psychological world. The start of each new day has a mystique about it. Think about it - most religions have morning services, a sunrise continues to serve as a generic symbol of hope, and a good cup of morning coffee is still (and rightly so) worshiped.  Whetherwe like it or not, we all partake in some semblance of this dailyroutine, no matter who we are, what we do or where we work. Making thewords ‘Good Morning’ part of that routine is part of the process to Make Work Better. If we cannot make even the most measly effort with our co-workers, it says a lot more about you than you might care to admit.
