One of the best ways I know to develop a work culture of highly productive and happy employees is to encourage them to find a best friend at work. Yes it has to be a best friend and not the run of the mill or fair weather friend.
Just think about it, what does it mean to be a best friend to someone? To me it means someone who is there to support you in good and bad times, who cares about you and will not allow you to get yourself in trouble, not allow you to put your self in dangerous or highly risky situations. Sometimes best friends are the voice of reason you listen to before you make a decision to act on something.
Well having a best friend at work is no different than what I have already described. At work you could benefit from someone who you knew you could confide in, had your back, looked out for pitfalls and informed you of them, cheered you on with your successes and offered needed advice when faced with a challenge. And yes you need to have someone you can trust to talk you down from the top of the roof before you jumped. We all have bad days at work, having a best friend allows you to get though them in a less stressful manner.
Did you know that establishing a best friend culture at work will not only increase revenue, productivity, improve customer service, but it will also reduce employee absenteeism and turnover. If you are looking for your organization to out pace the competition than you must establish a best friends work culture.
