People exhibit different characters at work and in this interesting article, Blessing Enenaite explores seven types of employees in a workplace.

Some may appear to show up with a nice personality at the beginning because they want to be accepted in a particular setting. However, they drift and show their true personality in no time. Their reactions could be stimulated by their environment.

In an organization, the character of an employee is determined by how he or she is being treated at work. While some employees have a favorable work environment, there are some work environments that drain its employees consistently.

Let’s take a look at the seven types of employees in an organization.

1. The inconsistent employee
This category of employees are usually nonchalant with their work. They do not keep to deadlines. Giving excuses for not turning in work as at when due is in their anatomy. An employee who is not willing to work at a given period will procrastinate until he or she has little time left to complete the set task.

This group of employees are known for using words like ‘’I cannot kill myself’’ and ‘’Life na small small’’.

2. The competitive employee
Some individuals want to be seen as the best at all times. They crave for acceptance among their bosses and strive to be the leader of any group task. Usually, their goal is to be the staff of the month or bag any award that may be put up by their organization. Besides, they do not allow any opportunity to shine escape them. Punctuality, diligence, and consistency are their trademark. Hence, they are easily noticed by their bosses.

3. The gossippers
In every organization, this group of employees exist. They are in the know of every happening in the office. Their penchant for petty gist is matchless. Regularly, they have one tale to tell about another employee.

Their discussions are not limited to the work environment. They can go as far as digging through the private lives of members of staff in a bid to have enough gossip to go round. At times, they can cause disparity among the staff with their wagging tongues.

4. The unfriendly group
Some workers simply desire a job that can pay their bills without having to form a relationship with their colleagues. Often, this category of people do not mingle for any informal discussion at their work place. All they are concerned about is work related discussions. Once it is closing time, they go home without exchanging pleasantries. Their work may not be perfect at all times but they cannot be found among the less serious folks at work.
