International Day of Friendship: The Importance of Work Friendships On International Day of Friendship, we’d like to talk about the role that workplace friendships play in boosting business performance. Studies consistently show that having strong friendships at work can lead to numerous benefits for both employees and organisations. According to Gallup, employees with a best friend at work are significantly more likely to engage with customers and colleagues, get more done in less time, and innovate and share ideas. These employees also tend to have more fun at work, recommend their workplace to others, and remain loyal to their employer. These factors collectively contribute to increased profitability, better safety, and higher retention rates. For employers, it’s worth noting that fostering these valuable relationships involves creating a culture that emphasises finding the right cultural and people fit, ensuring employees can find their "tribe." This can be achieved by encouraging social interactions, organising team-building activities, and promoting open communication. Work friendships not only improve individual well-being but also drive business success, making it a win-win for everyone involved. Do you have a work best-friend?
