Working Together: Benefits of Building Positive Relationships at Work

Everyone has ups and downs at work. When you have the support of your co-workers, it’s easier to manage the workload and maintain a positive outlook. Cultivating good relationships at work can benefit you in a number of ways, both personally and professionally.

1. Manage stress. Working with a team can help you handle stressful situations more effectively. Just being able to talk about your stress to someone who understands the situation can make a difference.

2. Get support. Sometimes it’s hard to admit when you need help. That’s why it’s important to be comfortable enough with your work relationships to speak up and ask for help.

3. Improve health. Making positive social connections can boost your behavioral health and well-being. Positive peer pressure can also motivate you to make healthy choices throughout your day.

4. Create a sense of belonging. Co-workers benefit from the camaraderie that comes naturally with a close-knit working environment. When your day‑to‑day contributions are valued by others, it feels like you’re a part of something bigger.

5. Boost efficiency. Teams that work well together can get things done quickly and efficiently. It’s a win‑win when you enjoy working together while also maximizing productivity.

6. Build trust. Going the extra mile for others builds trust and loyalty among team members. When you have trust with your co-workers, you’re able to take risks and accomplish more together.

7. Add some fun. Best of all, having positive relationships at work can brighten up your day.
