Workplace Relationships 101

Respect - When it comes to relationships, everything begins with respect. You can’t make others feel as if they are important to you if you do not actually feel this way about them. In order to create a successful relationship you must show respect to others even before they have done something to deserve it.

Shared Experiences - It is difficult to have a relationship with someone you don’t know, so it is important to share experiences over time. Having this common ground will help strengthen relationships and promote success.

Trust - Without trust you cannot sustain a healthy relationship. Colleagues who don’t trust one another will need to spend more time watching their backs than doing any useful work. Trust is an act of faith and there is no use in waiting for other people to make the first move in trusting you. Show that you trust others first and you will be trusted in return.

Mutual Enjoyment - As relationships grow stronger, people eventually begin to enjoy each other’s company, which can be extremely helpful within the workplace. Just being together with a co-worker can even turn unpleasant tasks into positive experiences
