Podcast: What is the role of gossip in organizations?

Written by

Watch my podcast What is the role of gossip in organizations? either on Spotify or on Apple Podcasts. Produced by The Hague University’s Lighthouse, for their Spodlight series.

Gossip has a bad reputation. But actually gossip has quite an important role in the workplace. What is gossip anyway? And how can we use whispers through the grapevine to our advantage rather than to our detriment? And how do you gossip in times of COVID-19?

Dominique Darmon, senior lecturer of International Communication Management and member of the research group Change Management at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, tells you more about the role of gossip in organizations.
