Everyone matters. - Every word is
important despite who said it.

Undoubtedly the work place will be filled with different ethnicities, cultures, ages, social classes and genders. So, it is understandable that there are many different languages and styles of speech. This article should guide you to a better understanding that different speech doesn't mean bad speech.

Different genders in the office.
If we looked overall at male and female's language, it is obvious that they use different approaches to language depending on who they are addressing. Woman are seen to be more co-operative and supportive towards one another, whereas men tend to use more derogative terms towards each other to emphasise they maintain a good relationship.
However it is more likely in the office to have mixed sex conversations. Studies have shown in mixed sex conversations there tends to be more confusion, however this does not mean the other persons point is less valid because you did not fully understand first time. To create the best working environment colleagues need to listen to each other and as a result will progress well as a team.
