Knowing me, knowing you

How much do you know about your colleagues? Get past small talk to turn co-workers into comrades.

Research by The Gallup Organisation of over seven million employees highlights that people who have a best friend at work are more satisfied, more engaged and perform better.

The more we know about our colleagues, the better our relationship. But many of us don’t have the time or the inclination to do much more than chat about the weather or commute.

This Time out is your chance to figure out the boundaries so you get to know each other without getting inappropriately intimate.

At the end of the Time out, you will have:

  • Found out what you can gain from getting to know your colleagues.
  • Discovered how much you really know about each other already.
  • Planned exactly what you’ll do to get more familiar.
  • Experienced the benefits of expressing gratitude.
  • Committed to spreading positive messages regularly across your team.
