Best Ways to Start a Conversation at Work - cover

Best ways to start a conversation at work

If you want to establish a healthy work environment, you need to understand the difference between positive and negative communication in the workplace.

In other words, positive interactions can make people more engaged at work, making them better at their jobs.

Also, knowing how to find common ground with your coworkers and engage in more casual conversations in the workplace will help you:

  • Gain respect and influence in your field of work,
  • Establish rapport and strengthen professional relationships, and even
  • Make some personal connections and friendships along the way.

So, without further ado, let’s talk about the best ways to accomplish that!

Method #1: Introduce yourself

If you’ve never met the person you want to engage in conversation with, the best way to start talking to them is to simply introduce yourself.

Corporate motivational speaker and author, Debra Fine, shares several tips for making professional introductions in her book The Fine Art of Small Talk.

The small talk expert stresses the importance of committing your interlocutors’ names to memory after giving your own name.

If you mishear or forget the name of the person you’re talking to, Fine recommends a swift confession along the following lines:

“Sorry, I’m not sure I got your name.”

“Excuse me, I’m afraid I’ve forgotten your name. Could you please remind me?”

Aside from that, Fine also emphasizes the importance of using the name we were given in its original form, advising her readers to “nix the nicknames.” To that end, she writes:

“If someone has a difficult name, make the effort to learn it — do not shorten it to a nickname without permission!”

– Debra Fine

Here’s one example of how you can double-check the pronunciation of someone’s name during a video call on Pumble, the team communication app.

Method #2: Comment on your surroundings

Commenting on one’s surroundings or general circumstances is a fairly safe place to start a conversation.

That’s why the weather and current events are among the most used topics to talk about with coworkers.

Then again, these kinds of conversation topics can seem a bit uninspiring to those seeking a deeper connection. That’s why this method is mostly used by people just starting to learn about their coworkers.

For them, making casual comments about what they had for lunch or that someone left doughnuts in the break room can be a good way to set everyone at ease before segueing into more substantial topics.

Method #3: Discuss pop culture or industry news

Once you learn a thing or two about your coworkers, you can start testing the waters with some more interesting small talk topics for work.

If you’ve already discovered that the person you want to approach is interested in a particular genre of movies, you can use an opener that reflects that.

Otherwise, you could always mention an industry trend and start a conversation that way.

This method is also the perfect place for us to incorporate more of Debra Fine’s advice.

According to the small talk expert, the best workplace conversation starters are a combination of a statement and a response prompt.

So, instead of just saying, Generative artificial intelligence is changing the way we work,”  you could add:

“How do you think gen AI will affect our industry in the next 5 years?”

Of course, this tip should work just as well — if not better — with more casual topics of conversation.

Then again, if your company uses a business messaging app to facilitate collaboration, you should know that those casual conversations should be kept separate from the rest of your work-related discussions.

Depending on your company policy and the permissions you’ve been granted as the user of the app, you may be able to create new channels to host the types of conversations you’re hoping to have with your coworkers.

As an example, you could create a #recommendations channel to discuss your favorite movies, music, and books.

Method #4: Ask for help or offer to help

According to a career coach, therapist, and member of the Forbes Coaches Council, Jessica Sweet, starting a conversation by asking for help is a great way to connect with the people you work with:

Jessica Sweet

“One of the best ways to start a conversation at work with someone you don’t know is to ask for a favor.

The ‘Ben Franklin Effect’ is the idea that people like you more when they do you a small favor. 

So, start a conversation by thinking of a small ask, and then dive into [other topics].”

The key to using this method to start a conversation with someone you work with is to make sure what you’re asking for isn’t too time-consuming.

After all, the ask itself is only the beginning of the conversation, so even something innocuous will do the trick. To illustrate that point, let’s look at the example below.

Method #5: Ask questions

If you’re not satisfied with superficial conversation starters, you can create deeper connections with the people you work with by asking more substantial questions.

In her book, Debra Fine suggests using open-ended questions and statements such as:

“Why?”

“How did you…?”

“Could you describe…?”

“I’d love to learn more about…”

“What was that like for you?”

“What brought you to…?”

Of course, you wouldn’t want to sound like you’re interrogating your interlocutors.

To avoid that, be sure to offer some information about yourself before asking the other person any questions.

Even then, you should stay in the realm of appropriate topics of conversation in the workplace. If you’re not sure which ones would fit the bill, executive public speaking coach, bestselling author, and international speaker, Karen Donaldson, has the answer.

Karen Donaldson

“Appropriate conversation topics for work include the company, the work that you do there, and accomplishments. On a non-invasive personal level, you can discuss leisure time activities, hobbies, vacations, upcoming holidays, and weekend plans. When you go into the territory of asking non-invasive personal questions, people start to build relationships with one another.”

However, the confidence coach also noted that sometimes, the people we approach with a conversation starter may be reluctant to share. So, we should expect and accept that, as the example below indicates.

Method #6: Give a compliment

Most people believe that being complementary is one of the safest ways to start a conversation in the workplace.

However, the broader context and the exact wording you use can make or break your chances of having a pleasant and, more importantly, respectful interaction.

With that in mind, you should only follow one steadfast rule when complimenting someone you work with — or, really, anyone you don’t know that well.

Namely, you should avoid commenting on body parts, at least anything that isn’t a conscious choice. That exception should still allow you to tell a coworker that their new hair color looks nice.

But, to be safe, you should try to restrict yourself to praising professional achievements rather than physical attributes, as career and business coach, Corbet Fawcett, told us:

Corbet Fawcett

“Be cautious of inappropriate comments and microaggressions. What seems like an innocent compliment may have negative implications. When in doubt, keep it professional. Focus on the work, not the person.”

According to Jessica Sweet, it’s all about making the other person feel appreciated:

Jessica Sweet

“Compliment their work, the quality of their questions or observations, or their work ethic. You want to keep it professional, and noticing what they do, how they do it, and the impact it has can go a long way in making someone feel seen and appreciated.”

Here’s one example of what providing that kind of employee recognition might look like.

Method #7: Tell a joke

At this point, you may have noticed a progression on our list of methods you can use to start a conversation at work.

Essentially, the workplace conversation starters in the first half of our list would allow you to strike up a conversation with any passing acquaintance. Meanwhile, the methods we have introduced in the latter half would work better on coworkers you were more familiar with.

So, what does that tell us about using humorous conversation starters at work?

Basically, you should limit their use to people you already know fairly well.

After all, even professional comedians can never be sure about the types of jokes that will “land” well with their audiences. The only way you can be reasonably sure that your joke won’t offend anyone is if you know your interlocutors’ preferences.

On top of that, you should also consider your hierarchical position within the company.

Even though having a sense of humor is seen as an advantage for those in leadership positions, recent studies have shown that employees can feel pressured to appear entertained when leaders use humor excessively.

Having to perform this way can exacerbate emotional exhaustion and meeting burnout, leading to decreased job satisfaction in workers.

So, if you’re participating in an act of downward communication, be sure to take that into account before starting a workplace conversation with a joke.

Method #8: Send them a direct message

In bygone days, most people would have felt that using conversation starters at work was limited to the short breaks away from their desks.

Luckily, that is no longer the case, as communication can be achieved anywhere, even from the comfort of one’s cubicle, thanks to various team communication tools.

According to Karen Donaldson, the transition to remote work models has negatively affected the level of closeness we can achieve with our coworkers:

Karen Donaldson

“One of the challenges when working on a remote team is that people feel like they don’t know each other and there is less camaraderie.”

Of course, with this kind of workplace communication, knowing how to balance work-related communication and chit-chat is key.

In an office environment, you can see which of your coworkers are interested in small talk by examining the nonverbal cues they send.

However, when the only thing you see is your coworkers’ virtual presence, you have to rely on:

  • Their usual personality (keeping in mind that everyone can have good and bad days),
  • Their availability status (as seen in the image below), or even
  • What their workload looks like (which you can check on the time or task management software your company uses).

Bonus tip: Avoid controversial topics

The success rate of conversation starters that rely on questions, compliments, and jokes usually depends on their delivery, wording, and central topic.

Since that last condition is particularly important, we asked experts to share what they believe are the topics everyone should steer clear of in the workplace.

Karen Donaldson put it simply:

Karen Donaldson

“Avoid conversations about race, religion, and politics — especially if it is not integral to your job.”

And, Jessica Sweet agreed, adding that certain topics can spark difficult conversations:

Jessica Sweet

“Avoid other people’s appearance as well as controversial topics such as religion and politics. These things tend to lead to difficult conversations that need to be handled carefully and can go bad easily. If they do go bad, you still need to work with the other person. It’s best to avoid these altogether.”

When in doubt, you should stick to either work-related topics or your personal life outside of work — as long as the person you’re talking to seems open to discussing the latter.

“What are the best and worst jobs you’ve ever had?”

“What upcoming trends could you see impacting our industry? How would you stay on top of those changes?”

“What resources or opportunities would you recommend to someone looking to advance in this field?”

“I’d love to learn more about [specific department, project, or topic]. Could you share some of your insights on the topic or perhaps connect me with someone with relevant experience?”

3 Traits that make workplace conversations easy

Before we wrap up, we’d like to point out that the successful delivery of these work conversation starters largely depends on the speaker’s social aptitude.

Luckily, those looking to become effective communicators in the workplace (and beyond) will be pleased to learn that that particular skill can be honed.

In fact, to break it down further, there are 3 traits you can work on if you want to learn how to initiate a conversation successfully.

Trait #1: Attentiveness

Arguably, the most important trait you can bring to a workplace conversation is attentiveness.

As Karen Donaldson told us, this trait will allow you to build and navigate relationships at work more easily:

Karen Donaldson

“First of all, only start a conversation if you’re willing to be an attentive listener. Then, keep things simple. Start with something relatable to both of you (the company, the job). When you want to build relationships with your co-workers, you want to go beyond work while respecting people’s privacy.”

For(bes) The Culture Council Member, creative communication, and DE+I expert, Anna Taylor, also mentioned the importance of developing active listening as a skill:

Anna Taylor

“The best way to show you’re interested in what a coworker has to say is to practice active listening. Active listening is a communication skill that involves going beyond simply hearing another person’s words but also seeking to understand the meaning and engaging beyond short responses.”

Meanwhile, Jessica Sweet noted the importance of body language, saying:

Jessica Sweet

“It’s surprising how many people let their minds (and eyes) wander while someone else is speaking. Show that you’re interested by listening, keeping your eye contact appropriately on the other person, and asking relevant questions.”

Essentially, being fully engaged in a conversation is a great way to show respect and genuine interest in your conversational partner(s).

On occasion, the practice of attentive listening may also require us to exercise other skills, such as emotional control and empathy.

Trait #2: Positivity

Some people might suggest that a good way to bond with the people you work with is by sharing common complaints.

To that end, many people will take the opportunity to mention the broken coffee machine in the break room or disparage an annoying coworker as a means of starting a conversation.

However, it’s best to keep such negative statements to a minimum, particularly when initiating workplace conversations.

After all, you wouldn’t want to become known as the company’s resident Debbie Downer.

Take it from communications consultant, Jana Lynne Sanchez:

“Be authentic. If you don’t like something, don’t mention it. There is something likable about most people. Find it and mention it.”

If you are dealing with difficult people at work, practicing your communication skills with them will serve you much better than badmouthing them in front of other coworkers. This article should help you find a way to talk to all manner of challenging colleagues: 

Trait #3: Confidence

Becoming more confident can be a huge help when initiating conversations in the workplace.

However, some people mistakenly equate confidence with arrogance — which happens to be one of the worst conversational sins, according to author Debra Fine.

In fact, many of the conversational faux pas Fine mentions in the Crimes and Misdemeanors chapter of The Fine Art of Small Talk could instead be seen as coming from a lack of confidence.

A person who is unsure of themselves might:

  • Interrogate their interlocutors,
  • Brag about their accomplishments too much,
  • Interrupt or try to one-up others in conversation, and
  • Monopolize conversations under the pretense of keeping the ball rolling.

Conversely, true confidence means seeing the worth of your accomplishments and understanding your shortcomings — and being willing to work on them.

From that perspective, we can imagine that a truly confident person would be able to:

  • Avoid oversharing,
  • Laugh at themselves rather than mocking others,
  • Acknowledge other people’s efforts and achievements,
  • Keep a friendly demeanor through expressions and body language,
  • Ask meaningful questions and show interest in the answers, and ultimately
  • Initiate workplace conversations more easily.
