1. Identify your beliefs and biases about gender – this will help you recognize and challenge any subtle gender stereotypes or assumptions.
2. Ensure your jokes are inclusive of both male and female workers – avoid double standards.
3. Try to avoid making jokes based on physical characteristics such as appearance, size or clothing, because these can be seen as sexist even if they are not intended that way. 
4. Consider the context of the joke – make sure it isn't likely to offend or be misconstrued by anyone in the room before cracking it!
5 When you’re on the receiving end of a potentially sexist joke from a colleague, take it with good humour and remind them that language has power and may make certain members of their team uncomfortable at times like these when everyone is trying to work together in an equal environment

Tips to avoid making unintended sexist jokes in the office include being conscious of your language, avoiding gender stereotypes, and using self-reflection. Having an awareness of how words can be perceived by others helps make sure that any joking you do is inclusive and not offensive. Also being mindful of the context in which jokes are made and asking yourself if it would sound equally funny if both males and females were referred to is a good guide. Additionally, reflecting on whether or not what you’re saying would upset or offend anyone is always a beneficial practice
