Good relationships between colleagues make them more creative and effective: The new research

While competition at the workplace can make us try harder, good relationships between colleagues make us more creative and productive.

A new study shows that friendly and supportive atmosphere impacts our work even more than we thought.

Let's find out more.

Friendly atmosphere matters

Supportive friendships between colleagues play a crucial role in fostering creativity and innovation in the workplace, according to a study conducted by the University of Bath's School of Management. 

The research highlights that care from co-workers not only inspires individuals to support their partners at home, but also has a positive impact on creative thinking at work. 

Your colleagues can be your friends

The study suggests that employers should recognize the value of caring co-workers and encourage informal support among colleagues. 

By providing flexibility in managing work-life balance and minimizing work-family conflicts, organizations can contribute to the well-being of employees and their relationships outside of work. 

People need support both at home and at work

The research emphasizes the importance of nurturing supportive work environments to enhance both personal and professional aspects of employees' lives.
