Boost Your Chances of Getting a Promotion by Making Friends at Work
You may not consider your workplace a source of great,
lifelong friends, but it turns out that making a few could increase your
chances of being given more responsibility and a bigger paycheck. CNN
Money found that workers who help others, organize social activities,
and make an effort to become friends with their coworkers have a 40%
high chance of getting a promotion. They point to one organization that
started essentially enforcing a friendliness policy, and that yielded
positive results:
To increase social support, Ochsner Health System, a large Louisiana
health care provider that Achor works with, implemented an approach
called the "10/5 Way." After educating 11,000 employees about the
importance of offering support to each other, Ochsner asked employees to
make eye contact and smile whenever they walk within 10 feet of another
person in the hospital. If they pass within 5 feet, they say hello.
Since then, Ochsner has seen a 5% increase in patients' likelihood to
recommend the organization, greater unique patient visits, and a
significant improvement in overall patient satisfaction.
It looks like in research and in practice, making friends is good for both you and and your company. Not only that, as
we mentioned earlier today,
isolation can stop the idea generation and creative teamwork in the
office as well. While you definitely need to take your alone time and
don't want to be social to the point of no productivity, don't rule out
the importance of making friends. It could mean the difference between a
going nowhere and getting a promotion.
