How to Improve Your Relationship in the Workplace

Martinique French writer Patrick Chamoiseau said: ‘When you leave the relationship you enter barbarism‘.

If we want a better world, we should focus on effective relationships and rediscover the value of the relationship, without limiting it to that among people, but also consider the one between us and the animals, the objects, the nature to end with our relationship with the environment.

In this post, I will only refer to how you could improve your relationships in the workplace

Here are some ideas for fostering your relationships with colleagues, which may inspire you.

1.              “Lunch & Learn” workshops: during a meal, a colleague takes turns presenting a topic that fascinates him, which can be one of their recent readings, films they have seen, or their passion.

2.              Meetings while walking. Getting out and walking makes it easier to express yourself because you breathe fresh air and move your body. Don’t be afraid to invite your colleagues, partners, or even clients to join you for a chat while you walk.

3.              Go out as a team, to spend free time with your colleagues and get to know each other better, without talking about work.

4.              If you have a small gym where you work, organize short sessions of physical activity.

5.                   Take advantage of the coffee break, tea, or what you drink, to share a moment with your colleagues.

What other special moments come to your mind that could be useful to cultivate your relationships with those around you in your daily business?
