If you’ve been in the workforce for quite a long time, the things you’re about to read might make you nod your head quite a few times.
“People with strong connections in the workplace are more open to growth, are better colleagues, and are more resilient. They also get promoted faster. New hires who are welcomed warmly on their first day at work are more productive nine months later; employees who form trusting relationships with their managers take critical feedback more effectively. Workers who grow closer to their colleagues use we more than I in their emails; those who get fired use we less often.”
You may have not known what exactly it was about that made you stay (or quit) in your job.
Needless to say, a sense of belonging at the workplace is so important especially when you spend most of your life at work.
