BECOME THE MOST LOVEDPERSON AT THE

OFFICE!

HOW TO

Show  appreciation  and  express  acknowledgement.If  someone  does  a  great  job  in  your  group  project  or  you've  been  admiring  their  new  blazer  tell  them.  

What's  better  than  a  compliment  or  a  thank  you?

#1

Respond  to  calls  and  emails  promptly.You  value  your  time  and  so  do  your  coworkers.  By  quickly  acknowledging  calls  and  emails,  within  10  

minutes,    you  are  reinforcing  the  value  of  their  time  whilemaking  sure  they  stay productive.

#2

Steer  clear  of  gossip.  All  office  gossip  is  bad  news.  Just  avoid  it  as  much  as  possible.

#3

Reach  out  to  new  teammates.  It’s  important  to  get  to  know  the  people  around  you.  Especially  when  it's  their  first  week  on  the  job.  Who  

knows  when  you  might  work  with  them  in  the  future?  

#4

Get  to  know  your  coworker’s  skill  sets.  Understanding  each  others  skills  builds  better  inter-­‐office  relationships  and  helps  people  feel  valued  at  the  

same  time.   Just  make  sure  you  confirm  with  them  before  volunteering  their  skills.

#5

Bring  snacks.Snacks  are  a  great  way  to  break  up  the  day.  They  create  conversations.  You  can  make  everyone's  morning  

bright  with  delicious donuts  or  be  the  savior  of  the  afternoonwith  spinach  dip  and  salsa.

#6

Make  valuable  connections.Take  five  minutes  to  ask  your  coworkers  about  their  family  /home  life.  Listen  to  what  they  have  to  say.  The  

time  you  spend  investing  in  them  will  help  them  feel  valued  and  start  more  conversations.

#7

Lighten  their  workload  (after  being  out  sick).  We  all  know  how  overwhelming  it  is  to  come  back  to  work  after  being  out  for  awhile.  One  look  at  your  inbox  and  you’re  done.  Offer  to  help  clear  some  things  off  their  plate.  It's a  gesture  they'll  remember.

#8

Create  traditions.Having  happy  hour  every  Friday night,  forming  a  bowling  team,  or  enjoying  a  pizza  party  once  a  month  

encourages  everyone  to  spend  time  together  without  stressing  about  projects.  

#9

Be  a  listening  ear.Sometimes  we  need  to  vent.  Provide  an  opportunity  to  sit  down  with  someone  who  feels  frustrated  and  

just  let  them  get  it  out. You'll  both  feel  better  afterwards.
