We spend a huge part of our working lives surrounded by our colleagues and peers, so it’s natural that so many of you have been asking about how to build friendships and a strong support network from your working relationships.
Colleagues are like family – you don’t get to choose them, but if you have to co-exist for 8 hours day you should at least learn how to make it work, right?
In this episode I give you some useful steps to help kickstart your workplace support system, including:
- Make the first move and extend an invitation.
- Reach out to individuals in other teams or departments.
- Join work groups, clubs and organizations.
These are just a few ideas to help you get started, but if you really want to build a strong support system at work, be proactive, take control and create the work environment you want!
Here are the highlights from this episode:
{3:12} You can’t choose your colleagues
{5:27} Everyone else wants that support too
{7:58} Do not tolerate a toxic work environment
