Employee success at work has shown positive impact not just upon an individual's physical and mental health but also with his or her overall happiness. So, if you want to be successful in all aspects of life, start by building and creating positive and healthy interpersonal relationships with your co-employees. Besides, according to Careeralism, good camaraderie among your co-workers benefits both you and the company you are working with because of heightened motivation.
Here are some ideas that can help you start your good relationship toward your co-workers:
1. Learn to confront thoughtfully.
In times that you want to confront a co-worker about his or her disruptive behavior, do it in a way that you will not hurt that person the person so much by saying the truth. Learn to give feedback at work while setting aside personal issues. You have to be honest and direct, but at the same time you should also be careful in choosing the best words to say in that situation.
2. Don't make assumptions.
"Assumptions are one of the many culprits in workplace misunderstandings, lost sales, and failed business negotiations," as stated by the American Management Association. So always try to clear things out before doing anything that might affect your relationship with your mates. Instead, ask what's wrong and talk about it over a cup of coffee with inquisitive mind and open heart.
3. Stay away from any negative emotions.
Always keep in mind not to harm anyone especially if you're envious. It will not just create damage to the person whom you have negative feelings for, but it can also affect you in the long run. Make sure that what you have in your company is healthy competition and not a contest that will only pull the both of you down. Learn to appreciate everyone especially those who has done something exceptionally well, as noted by Management Study Guide.
There is always a possibility of downsides to friendship all the time. But always remember, benefits of interpersonal relationships can always outweigh any negative outcome. Just enjoy every single moment of it and have your focus set directly on your career goals.
