July 09, 2013 Friendships Improve Employee EngagementEmployee engagement, if you've read the news recently, or looked around your office, isn't so great. Study after study confirms it. So how can we boost our own engagement? Finding a friend is a good start. If you have a close relationship with colleagues, research shows, your job satisfaction can increase up to 50%. Work will seem more enjoyable. You'll be happier. But companies need to take on some of the burden as well; creating an atmosphere of camaraderie starts at the top. Teamwork and togetherness need to be embedded into the culture. Social events, service projects, and wellness programs can help, but nothing creates a sense of community like selling products and services that employees are proud of.
