Small conversations in the workplace are ideal during breaks or lulls in the workday, such as lunch breaks or after completing a task. It's important to avoid having conversations during meetings or when someone is working on a tight deadline, as it can be disruptive and disrespectful to their work. Additionally, it's important to make sure that the conversation remains professional and relevant to the workplace.
When there's sudden blackout, we noticed that we immediately bond outside the building while waiting for the lights to come back. That moment will be precious for it's the time you realized to get to know each other well. We keep on concentrating on our job forgetting about our social responsibility towards our co workers. We realized they're good listeners. That's the beginning of your co workers good relationship. It's so cool moment.
The ideal time to make small talk at work is when it's not so busy, or when it's time for a break. Because making small talk when busy it will interfere with company productivity.
