WHY IS WORKING ENVIRONMENT IMPORTANT FOR YOU & YOUR COMPANY
Many full-time employees spend more of their waking hours with co-workers than they do with their spouses and families, especially in team environments. It is unavoidable for employees to eventually develop personal relationships among themselves in addition to their formal co-worker relationships. Working with people you like to spend your time has a strong influence for the wellness in the workplace, health, labour environment and, of course, in a mid-long term, productivity, which at the end reinforces the stability of jobs, and above all willingness to learn and improve basic skills and competences.
So who is responsible for generating that atmosphere?
Obviously, it is a work in several directions. Relationships between employees and management are of substantial value in any workplace. Human relations are the process of training employees, addressing their needs, fostering a workplace culture and resolving conflicts between different employees or between employees and management. Understanding some of the ways that human relations can impact the costs, competitiveness and long-term economic sustainability of business help to underscore their importance.
