Friendship in Workplace is Good or Bad?

There's no doubt about it if you have good friends at work, you're more likely to enjoy your day at the office.  Someone to sit with at lunch, discuss the gossip, empathize over difficult customers.  These things like good way to be positive or stress free in another word we can say that these things like oil the wheels of the working day.

How's friendship Impact on your performance at work

Whereas some management expert think friendship and socialization at the workplace boost the productivity and staff retention, other think they can create problem for both individuals and business.

Is that really creates problem at work?

So are workplace friendship a good thing? Well, it's not quite so simple.  Other researchers point to their possible ill-effects people being distracted from work due to socializing; breaches of confidentiality; blurring of boundaries between friendship and work role; Favorited clash of roles (eg. Manager finding it difficulty to enforce procedures with their friends) bullying or poor performance being overlooked or condoned and cliques forming but actually,many of those 'dangers' are more a result of poor management cultures than friendships.

It helps in Collaboration

One thing that's not in doubt is the value of employee engagement and collaboration.  By helping people get to know each other, you help them work together.  Another thing that's not in doubt is that younger workers expect to have a good time at work.  The Millennial Generation wants to be friends with their co-workers.  And may older workers want a sociable workplace too. 'Good relationship with co-workers' was the top reason to stay in your job in a survey by the Australia Institute Of Management- more popular than job stratification.
