Establishing good relationships in the workplace is not important, as the primary goal of every person is to focus on work. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

In the modern era of cut throat competition, everyone is working hard to earn their bread and livelihood. While performing their duties whole heartedly and with utmost dedication, people is leaving their

work

relationships behind.

However

, it is argued by the large number of people that to befriend with colleagues is not important and one should focus on their respective duties.

This

essay will discuss why I totally disagree with

this

opinion and how productivity can be improved with a healthy

environment

in the organisation.

Firstly

, having a decent

environment

in the organisation help in increasing

work

productivity.Huge targets can be achieved if there is a healthy relationship among the employees.Good interpersonal relations help in improving teamwork and those having a good bond tend to collaborate on the project more effectively.

For example

, it is rightly said, "Alone we can do little, together we can do so much".

Also

, organisations should arrange team activities and sports day once in a while so that employees get connected to each other outside

work

environment

.

This

will help them in achieving their targets more effectively and efficiently.

Secondly

, employees at senior level spend most of their time at their workstations, so it is important having sound and friendly

environment

around them.Every challenge and target need to be discussed with all employees, so that they should

work

as a family in achieving the organisational objective. The personal objective should

also

be given importance by the organisation in order to help employees in improving and upgrading themselves.

Besides

this

, annual appraisal should be done on the basis of

work

done, targets achieved and good interpersonal relations with other counter employees.

Thirdly

, it is important to have healthy competition among the employees of the company. I am of the opinion that some preference should be given to that employee who maintain good relations with all

in addition

to his/her

work

objectives. Some can be awarded with monetary benefits, who is always ready to take extra responsibilities and are ready to help anyone in trouble.Employees need to be motivated by conducting office parties and other social gatherings, to give employees opportunity to know each other.

For example

, some companies conduct a welcome party for the new employee so that he can adapt to the new

environment

easily and

work

effectively. To sum up, we discussed in

this

essay that it is important to have good relations at your working place.

This

results in improving teamwork and it is good for the personal lives of the employees. I am of the opinion that as we are social creatures, maintaining good social networks around is vital for our mind and soul.
