friendships at Workplace is a difficult topic, which is not only inherent in various studies, but also in the frequency of the interview requests that we receive for ZEIT or MAXI, for example. Especially for beginners Executives dealing with the subject correctly is important.
A job is a complex social network and determines a lot about your life. He also has a lot to do with your colleagues because you can only work in teams and collaborate with your friends.
Employees can be great for each other Society because everyone has something that is of interest to their peers. But not every colleague has such a good relationship with his colleagues. But not every colleague is a really good friend.
Friendships at work are therefore still viewed with mixed feelings - not only in Germany: On the one hand, studies show that working with friends is good for the working atmosphere and makes you more productive.
Such a study at the American Columbia University, which showed that colleagues who liked each other and helped each other were far more productive than those who stubbornly went about their business. Therefore, start-ups in particular are promoting the New Work common leisure activities such as holidays, sports and parties.
If two People Working together day in, day out, sharing their interactions and conversations fast become confidential. The workplace can be a source of great friendship and learning for those who make the time. It is so unbelievable how much you get to know people through professional life and yet so rarely make friends.
This aspect is particularly important for younger people: one of the reasons why many people feel comfortable in their job is that they share their experiences and thoughts with and from others Feedback and thus also benefit from the job on an interpersonal level. By the way, this is an aspect that many in the home office miss.
Working together also serves to understand colleagues and get to know their personalities. After all, all are one Team and work together from the beginning to the end of a project and should understand each other well. Friendships for life are formed quickly, especially in risky professions. It is all the more important that you build up your personal relationship step by step.
Especially those who are just starting a new job have them Choice between two job situations that are very different. On the one hand, the new job is interesting and you have some friends there, or you may have colleagues in another job who you know well. I have now been interviewed several times in the press on exactly this topic.
On the other hand, the mixing of professional and privacy accompanied with a lot of skepticism - not always without reason. Of all people SalesDirector of Google, which played a key role in starting this trend, is not playing the game, as she stated in an interview. In this context, I found the statement of the Google Sales Director Fionnuala Meehan, She explained to me in an interview in Dublin:
That's why I don't spend my free time with colleagues. It's important to me that I have another life besides Google and, for example, every day at 18 p.m. with mine Family eat dinner. So 16 or 17 p.m. is the end of the day for me. I don't work at all on weekends.
The Gallup Institute, for example, found out in a survey of around five million employees that 30 percent of employees have a so-called best friend at work Office have. More than half of them, namely 56 percent, are fully engaged at work.
Of the remaining 70 percent, only eight percent were enthusiastic about their job, 63 percent did the job to rule and 29 percent even failed negative statements about their job. A survey by Monster.de also shows that a good third of all employees keep their private life and job strictly separate.
The connection between friendly feelings, working atmosphere and increased performance is evident: those who get along well with their colleagues have more Fun and is therefore more productive. The job also helps many, but not themselves lonely zu feel.
The older you get, the harder it is to feel like you know people, and the easier it is to feel like you don't really know people. It's hard living with distant friends and family in Contact and even more so to keep up to date with what people are doing, who they are dating, if they are happy and - even worse - what they think of you. It is therefore easier for many people to concentrate on the people they deal with every day, including their own colleagues, when it comes to social life.
Nevertheless, caution is sometimes called for - because you can choose friends, colleagues not. As soon as the relationship and factual levels mix, conflicts can arise.
It becomes problematic, for example, if the one wants more than a collegial relationship, but the other does not. Or if Tischnachber likes to tell piquant details from his private life, which one would rather not hear. As most people want a harmonious day of work, they are unsure whether they can put such colleagues in the way.
Another problem is envy, which is the result of a sudden career of fellow colleagues - and the other does not. Or when private information is misused to gain a professional advantage.
Depending on the intensity of the relationship, such negative feelings should also be addressed, because to a certain extent you are one of those Behavior normal. In a normal working relationship, on the other hand, a factual one is enough Conversation about the new situation.
But it is not the other way around useful, to strictly separate private life and everyday working life. Apart from the fact that this is becoming increasingly rare these days, it is almost impossible to avoid conflicts in the long run. On the contrary, anyone who strictly avoids private contacts is soon considered unsympathetic and marginalizes themselves, which also damages their career in the long run.
And when you have a good friendship, it's easy to keep it going. And even if it doesn't work, you can always try again. Friendships with coworkers are like any other kind of friendship. Knowing what to do and how to do it is half the battle.
And there is one more aspect to consider: Today, thanks to the flexible forms of work, you have frequent location and Job change less and less opportunity to establish and maintain intensive private relationships outside of work. Also, you inevitably talk more about what you spend your day doing, work. If you don't create a balance, you will get big ones if you lose your job Problems.
I'm just thinking of Robindro Ullah, former Head of HR South at Deutsche Bahn and later Head of Employer Branding and HR Communication at Voith AG, who confessed in an interview and a statement that one cannot separate personal and professional life - and not just since social media.
Friendships in the workplace can make working easier, but can also lead to conflicts. 10 tips for proper handling.
Because even if it can have a positive effect on work when colleagues get along well: You have to ME too clear make sure that not every office or internet friend is a really good friend.
To sum up, the transition from collaboration to friendship is fraught with challenges, but the results are well worth it.
Many examples also show that a good work culture can be a strong basis for future business activities. It's about trust and closeness and about getting something off the ground together.
