How to build a good workplace relationship cont’d
Play your part - There are individual job descriptions in a work environment and each job role is usually interconnected. So, it's important to be committed to playing your own role effectively so as not to hinder the workflow. Work hard to meet up deadlines especially when your colleagues are waiting on you. In cases when you can't meet up for any reason, it's important to communicate and set new deadlines. Playing your role on the team will promote communication and strengthen the relational bond within the organization.
Appreciate people and reward accomplishments - The success. of every team is a cumulative effort of all the members of the team. However, there are times when some individuals go the extra mile and perform outstandingly well, such effort should be rewarded. It should be the culture of every team to reward exceptional performance. This will motivate others to do the same.
Be sincerely happy for others - Every team member has their different areas of expertise. Always celebrate other people’s wins and give them the necessary support they need. Be open-minded to ask other team members who seem to be doing better than you in a particular area for directions. Be free to ask for help when you need one.
Create bonding time - The work environment can get tensed at times and everyone just needs time off. It is always a good idea to make time for social gatherings outside work. A time when team members can relate in an informal setting and get to create new relationships outside work. This will help team members connect and get emotionally bonded to each other. This could promote empathy and a better perspective or understanding of how to work better with one another.
Take care of your emotions - Nobody likes to work with an emotionally fragile and petty person. Take care of your emotional health and get all the professional help you need to stay emotionally intelligent. Employees who are emotionally intelligent handle other people's emotions with care and are able to make logical decisions and maintain a healthy relationships with other team members.Those who are emotionally unstable don't easily get along with others on the team. So it's important to deliberately develop your emotional agility and intelligence to be a better team player.
Resolve conflicts on time - Disagreements and conflicts are normal within a company of people. Avoid stretching issues and resolve conflicts on time. Don't go behind other people's backs to discredit them before your bosses or other colleagues. Don't handle sensitive issues that directly affect a team member publicly without first of all talking to the individual one-on-one. Avoid segregation, gossips, or intimidation of any kind. Be a peaceful team player.
