Securing Your Dream Job

Cultivating Effective Work Relationships

Having good connections at work is crucial to climbing the corporate ladder, specially when you are the Intern. It's been proven that putting in the effort to cultivate positive relationships at work pays off in increased output and contentment in one's position. Developing your emotional intelligence and spending time getting to know your coworkers are two key stages towards forming strong, long-lasting connections in the workplace.

Cultivating Effective Work Relationships
Work relationships play a major role in your professional as well as personal successes. Behavioural aspects are keenly observed not just be the employers but by your teammates too. So employees, especially interns or graduates who are new to a corporate set up, must learn the art of maintaining genial work relationships.
So all aspirants out there, how can you learn this? The below mentioned tips would help you understand how human behaviour works and how you can mould yourself accordingly.

1.    Being Solution Oriented:
There is no dearth of problem bringers. But the ones who bring solutions to the table are eligible for next step of success. While you start your new innings, make sure you are not a part of the problem, instead be the one resolving issues. Learn, upskill, develop yourself to reach this goal.

2.    Help your teammates:
If you are good at something, imparting your knowledge would only better your own skill. Subsequently, the co-worker will owe you for the mentorship and guidance. Helping others is one of the best ways you can build good relations at work.  

3.    Stay Grateful to Others:
There is a high possibility that your teammates would follow your example of helping without a frown. Good always catches great in return. Always stay thankful for what and how others assist you with your issues. Be it your manager or your teammate, never forget to say a small Thanks to them.

4.    Staying Dedicated and Committed:
This is a no-brainer. Dedicated teammates are always looked up to. Everyone wants to be a part of your groups. Early in your career make it a point to stay committed to your work, or towards the people you work with. It will help you soar higher in the professional circles.

5.    Following Transparency in Communication:
Since you are lowest in the professional tree, it's best to have honest and transparent communication. Establishment of honesty inculcates trust in teammates, which is a huge plus for an intern.

6.    Managing Verbal and Non-verbal Interaction:
Follow the right rules of verbal as well as non-verbal communication. Never speak out of turn and maintain correct postures while sitting, standing, in a meeting or otherwise, whenever you are at your workplace.

7.    Develop Emotional Intelligence:
While you have the opportunity to learn, be curious and learn all that you can. Practice self-awareness because that helps with a lot of behavioral positives. Instead of reactive, be proactive, observe things to absorb. Understand your passions and work towards them earnestly.

8.    Avoid criticizing:
Backbiting doesn’t help, ever. Criticising people only ruins your conduct, so avoid doing that. Practice constructive feedback if and when given the chance. Early on in your career these, imbibing things aspects will help you become well-liked person who knows how to manage workplace connections.

9.    Stay Polite:
Well, politeness is an all-time virtue. A person who can be polite at the worst of the times, comes out the winner. You are young, understandable, but following professionalism, not your emotions, would help you grow and succeed.

Positive interactions with coworkers also provide personal autonomy. Concentrating on positives, such as expanding your business or bettering yourself, frees you from the burden of unpleasant connections. In addition to advancing your career, expanding your network of professional contacts can help you seize new chances.
