Employee Cliques Are Bad For Business

Companies should pay very close attention to cliques forming amongst employees - this is a sure indication that there is something very wrong with company dynamic and managers (if present). 

The stronger the clique, the less likely employees outside of it will be willing to interact with those inside it. 

Employees might even go as far as to feel the need to quit their jobs - this goes way back to schoolyard days feeling like the odd one out.

Cliques are infectious, even the most highly respected people fall prey to it. You may find yourself gossiping about a certain employee via IM or email unexpectedly - just stop it. 

The outcasted employees will feel resentment towards the company, not the clique - this is a sure fire way of killing productivity and ultimately the company. 

Think about it.
