Relationship management is the most important aspect of efficiency and productivity which has been discussed.

2.  Building healthy relationships with co-workers is an important
part of having a successful career.
 Co-workers spend ample amounts of time together, and
sometimes develop personal relationships on top of their
professional ones.
 This can be good for businesses because it can help
companies create higher performance in the workplace.
 In addition, very few companies have their employees work
100% independently
 Cecilia Harry. “We rely on others to contribute support,
expertise, and other resources to best meet the needs of a
client, fulfill the mission of the agency, or create a profit,”
 Because everyone has their role to play in a company, it is
important for everyone to get along – not just for the sake of
the work environment, but for the sake of the company and
its success, too.

3.  “When it comes to building relationships with your
co-workers, be open and honest,” said Harry.
 We must encourage people to be honest with
their co-workers to get to know them better in
order to work better as a team about
› having a social relationship and
› communicate
 “Some people see work as a place to show up,
do what they are supposed to do, and go
home,”
 “Others see it as a place to spend half of their
waking life and an opportunity to build social
relationships.”

4.  Sometimes being open and honest about
building a relationship with co-worker won’t
get you the response you are looking for.
 However, don’t completely write-off someone
who isn’t interested in building a relationship.
 “Even if they don’t want to engage and build
a friendly or social relationship, you may end
up excluding them or devaluing them, and
that ends up creating a negative relationship
and possibly hurting the company,”
 “Instead, be sure to keep them in the
communication loop and still offer assistance
and support to work-related tasks.”

5.  Some people might now know an appropriate way
to build a good relationship with a fellow employee.
 “I encourage individuals to take a look at the
company’s culture and use that as one of the factors
to inform their decision regarding if and how to
engage co-workers outside of regular work
activities,” said Harry.
 If you’re unsure about inviting a co-worker to grab
some dinner after work, or go out for a cricket game
over the weekend, why not start small and ask them
out to cup of tea or even a Paan ?
 You don’t have a whole lot to lose and if you have a
good time it can become a regular thing and help
you grow as co-workers.

6.  For some, it can be a little awkward to get to know a
complete stranger.
 However, at one point most of the people who we
consider close friends were strangers to us at one
point.
 This can provide some relief if you are feeling uneasy
about befriending a co-worker you don’t know.
 “Another way to make this a little easier is to focus on
an interest you both have in common,”
 “Perhaps you both like dogs, went to the same
college, watch the same TV show, or have a
grandchild . This common interest can be a good
foundation for a positive relationship.”

7.  Though it might be easier to build a relationship with a co-worker
who holds the same working status as you, it
doesn’t mean you can’t try to build a relationship with a
co-worker who outranks you – or even one you outrank –
in the company.
 “Mentor relationships in the workplace benefit both
parties,” said Harry, “and the company gains when more
employees are engaged and supporting each other.”
 Ranks in companies do change.
 The person who was once in charge of you may not be if
you’re someone who plans on growing within the
company.
 If the ranks between co-workers are reversed, having
already established a positive relationship makes the
transition run more smoothly
