・Exchange greetings at workplace
Greeting is the very basic of communication. However, few people exchange greeting rightly in their companies. Don’t you greet in unclear voice or greet with the same phrase like a robot? You should greet people looking at their eyes with your smile first when you go into the office because it makes good atmosphere in the office.
When you enter the office, you should say good morning and have little conversation with your coworkers like “Didn’t it rain so heavily yesterday?” or “Isn’t it so hot today?” something like that. It gives people a good impression on you and makes you and people in your company go to work feeling good. However, some women dislike being mentioned about their looks like “Did you have your hair cut?” or “You look pretty today.”
So you should choose topics depending on the situation.
・Care about others
In the morning, it is easy to concentrate on work, but you should care about other workers in the office to grasp the office atmosphere even though you concentrate on your work.
There might be someone busy working, having some trouble. People tend to get a narrow point of view when they are too busy. So talking to someone in trouble actively has a good effect on the office.
If you are too busy to deal with it, you can say like “He seems to have some trouble, anyone can help him?” Confirming the situation and share information with each other is the key.
・Enjoy lunch break with your work mates
Don’t you think just having lunch alone in lunch break is wasting? You might think you want to be alone at lunch time to refresh yourself by having lunched box alone or going out for lunch alone. However, you cannot build good relationships with your work mates as long as being alone at lunch break. It is wasting your time.
I recommend you should have a lunch with your work mates talking about subjects you cannot talk about while working like hobbies to deepen your bond. You might find unexpected side of them, and which leads to good atmosphere of the office. With having lunch with your work mates, you can refresh yourself and resume work in the evening feeling good.
・Have a chat pleasantly during short break
People tend to easily be bothered in the afternoon while working. You should take a short break when you cannot concentrate on your work and refresh yourself. Sometime, you need to keep yourself awake by having a cup of coffee or talking with someone for several minutes.
However, you must not take a too long break even though you become lively over something because it interferes with your work. You should finish your conversation so as not to do that.
・Report today’s task and progress to your fussy boss
People tend to make a mistake or forget to report to boss in late afternoon because of fatigue. When it comes to communication in the office, to report properly what you have done on the day to a boss before going home is quite important.
You should report your daily task and progress to your boss every day even though you are asked to do that. Without reporting your current work situation, you would have been bothered so much when you would be behind the schedule or would be in trouble.
・when you leave the office on time ask if someone doing extra work needs help
I know everyone wants to leave the office on time before being asked some extra work. However, some your work mates work after hours busily when you can leave the office on time.
You should not turn a blind eye when you realize someone like that but offer help thinking about his hard working. Everyone wants to leave the office on time.
Sharing work increases work efficiency depending on tasks, and which decreases each task and makes good atmosphere in the office. It is helping each other that make the world go around.
・Give advice to someone in trouble.
If you hesitate to talk to your work mates feeling down because you have no idea what to say, you should talk to her or him actively. It is hard to ask for help of their own accord when people need help.
If you will talk to someone with trouble saying such as “You look a little down today.” or “Don’t hesitate to talk to me anytime you need.” he would open his mind. Having problems without telling anyone about it is not good for health. And in a case of workplace matter, it could lead to quitting job.
Even if you cannot solve the problem, you can relieve their some stress by just listening to them. Asking them to a drinking party or dinner to listen to their stories away from work is effective for refreshment. .
How was that?
I hope you have learned having a casual conversation and reporting constantly is the key to good relationships in the office. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere in the office is good for work efficiency and makes you feel good more than strained atmosphere in the office.
Communication means not only sending message, report, correspondence but also understanding each other. The origin of the word is Latin word “COMMUNICATIO”
It means share. Not only to send message but also to understand each other is the shortest way to build a trust relationship in the office. Let’s give it a try with a light heart.
