Workplace Relationships - How to Resolve The Difficult Ones

Humans are hardwired to interact with one another. We spend one-third of our life working, so it seems to reason that if we get along well with our coworkers, we'll enjoy our time there. Coworkers' ability to share ideas, collaborate, and accept change depends on how well they get along with one another. Togetherness of this kind is required for effective adaptation to new circumstances, production of original work, and development of novel ideas. When people perceive that their efforts to work together have paid off, their motivation and output increase dramatically.

Workplace Relationships - How to Resolve The Difficult Ones
Interactions with co-workers are what make up relationships in the office. You will enjoy your internship when your interactions with co-workers and teammates are strong. Successful people understand the value of networking in the workplace.
Maintaining positive relationships with co-workers is important for several reasons. First, they help you meet new people and expand your professional network. Second, they provide you with the support and advice you need to thrive in your position.

The following are some advantages of professional relationships:
  • Enhanced contentment with one's professional life
  • Elevated ease in front of audiences and in group settings
  • Enhanced efficiency throughout the board
  • Emotional backing and help with meeting aggressive deadlines
It's inevitable that you'll have to team up with an annoying co-worker at some point during your internship. Many co-workers appreciate the space provided by virtual offices. Yet, misunderstandings and tensions can still arise even while conversing digitally. While it's human nature to try to avoid conflict, doing so isn't always possible or even desirable. Workplace relationships matter, and its equally important to try to resolve some difficlt ones too. Otherwise, it can have negative effects on team morale. Here are some suggestions for keeping or mending conflicts with your teammates.

Recall the good things that have happened to you.
Research suggests that remembering the happy times shared with a co-worker might help mend fences if a friendship has soured following an event. To employ a neutral mediator is yet another alternative.

In order to unite the parties and find a speedy settlement, Focus inward.
When we have a bad opinion of someone, we are more likely to be irritable and unmotivated ourselves. The unpleasant actions of others might be reflected back at us. The Betari Box Model can be used to put an end to harmful attitudes and actions that contribute to the continuance of conflict.

Look into ways to reach the same goals.
What if the problem is the way you and your partner share power in your tense relationship?
There is again a work model of power relationships which can be utilised to figure out if there are various disparities of power. It involves making a plan to communicate more effectively and improve the quality of your relationship.
