Tips
-
Nicknames can be a great way to form connections at work, but they could also be insulting. Never make comments about a coworker’s race, age, gender, sexual orientation, or culture, as these biases and stereotypes can be harmful.[9]Thanks
-
Pick nicknames that promote inclusivity over exclusivity. A nickname should be fun and never alienate or make a coworker feel bad.[10]Thanks
-
Link the nickname to a shared experience, inside joke, or unique characteristics. This makes it more fun and personal, forming a bond between you and your coworker.[11]Thanks
