5 Tips on How to Get Along at the Office
- Workplace
Video Transcription
Getting along at the office can be challenging. But think of it this way: where you’re dealing with the same people day after day, you have to learn how to work with them and find ways to not get on their nerves. If you can do that, not only will they like you, you’ll also be able to get along with them pretty easily. Put yourself in their shoes. How would you want people to treat you? If you were constantly interrupted by your co-worker or constantly asked to get a cup of coffee, what would you think of them?
The central problem of all this is the lack of mutual tolerance. If we want to get along at the office, we need to know that others are not our enemies. We should not label people as “friend” or “foe”. We need to accept them as they are. If we do not agree with someone’s actions, we can always tell them. We should know that no one is perfect. We should not expect a lot from others, but we should try to adjust to others.
Here are some tips on how to get along with your fellow employees:
- In order to easily get along with people at the office, you should be able to know them and their personalities, and work well with your peers.
- Think about your words. Since you are working together, you want to make sure that you are not being offensive. If you are a manager, you have to make sure that your employees feel comfortable talking to you and that they will not be worried about your reactions.
- Don’t be a hot head. If something big happens at the office and people are starting to get worked up, you should try to help them calm and keep their emotions in check.
