The benefits of building good working relationships 

Thankfully, positive relationships at work are entirely possible. Building great work relationships can work wonders for your career and daily work life. Here are just a few benefits: 

• Increased job satisfaction. People often quit jobs or entire industries due to bad colleagues or managers. But when you build strong relationships, you can find purpose in your work all over again.

• Less discomfort during meetings. In a toxic workplace, people are afraid to speak up. But, with the help of good work relationships, you’ll feel empowered to share your ideas.
• More support from your colleagues. Work can be stressful. You’ll need moral and practical support when times get tough. Good work colleagues will step up for you when you ask, and you’ll do the same for them.

“The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focussed on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts.”

Dr Roopleen

A positive workplace starts with good leadership. You should feel supported and empowered to cultivate healthy relationships. In most cases, though, it’s up to you to integrate yourself into the team. Otherwise, you may want to quit your job to protect your well-being.
