3. Plan a Get-Together with Coworkers
The topic of hanging out with coworkers outside of the office is a tricky one. While there may be reasons for caution, don’t discount the benefits! In the article, “Yes or No: Hanging Out With Colleagues After Work,” writer, Shi Tianyun highlights why befriending your coworkers may not be such a bad idea. She writes, “While all of you may be battling deadlines together every day, the fast and furious pace at work isn’t conducive for socializing.”
Enjoying the people you work with plays a key role in a happy work environment. Take advantage of the summer season, and invite a few of your coworkers over for a laid-back barbeque, dinner party, or some other interactive activity. As you make more connections in the workplace, your morning treks to the office will become easier.
