Building a Solid Relationship on the New Job

By : D.P Brown

Now that you have landed that dream job, it is vital to keep it, right? That doesn't mean you should feel the need to be a 'brown-noser' or be constantly volunteering whenever the boss is looking for someone to take on additional tasks. What it does mean is to find common ground on which to forge a closer relationship with your boss and co-workers to strengthen the cohesiveness of the workplace. In so doing, the job at hand might not end up being so much work!

Once you have begun your new job, keep in mind that one of the reasons you were hired was because your employer took a liking to you. Otherwise, even with all your qualifications, you might not have gotten the job in the first place! It is now important to build on that first impression to maintain a positive atmosphere within the workplace. Following are three solid recommendations to building a lasting camaraderie with your co-workers.

1. Seek Common Ground
Ask yourself in what areas you may have something in common with your co-workers. Do your co-workers enjoy being active? Do you share a love for fine dining? Are you movie connoisseurs? Even though it is unlikely that you will share all things in common, discovering mutual likes or dislikes can build a bond.

2. Cultivate the Relationship
Once you have made common interest discoveries about your fellow employees, as well as your boss, continue to show interest in growing those relationships. Get together with a group of co-workers, along with your boss, at a favorite lunch spot. When you take the initiative suggesting doing something special with your co-workers, it will reflect positively on you as a colleague as well as a friend.

3. Prove Yourself Professionally
It isn't enough to simply be the 'life of the party'. In addition to establishing a personal relationship with the team, you must also prove yourself professionally. Even though your co-workers or immediate superior may be easy to socialize with, those further up the chain of command may be either too busy or simply uninterested. Even so, getting face time is essential. Look for ways to collaborate with your co-workers or boss on projects important to them. By doing so, associating yourself with key assignments will allow your skills to shine. Your fellow employees and boss will see first-hand that you are eager to contribute to the team.

Finally, keep in mind that building a relationship with those you are now employed with won't happen overnight. It is a fact that, given time, your relationship will grow once you've discovered and then built upon that common ground. The bottom line is for you to prove you are a valuable employee. Never hesitate to demonstrate your skill sets on key projects that will both benefit the department and the bottom line. If you put into practice these steps, you'll quickly ride the path to professional success!
