Boss and Employee
At the workplace in this time and ere, employee relationships are very important at the workplace. It is even more important between the Boss and Employee. Many are the times when the workplace can become a very undesirable place due to a number of things such as increasing workload, increasing time limitations, increasing problems and challenges in the economy and the list goes on. At times an employee may be very hardworking and very committed at work but if the Boss and Employee relationship is constrained you will always find that things will never be the same. Usually bosses today want to take out their frustration on their employees simply because they can, they want to and because of mounting pressure from the environment they work in. But it is important for the Boss and Employee relationship to remain strong because relationships at work are really what build a company stronger.Now, what contraints a Boss and Employee relationship in the first place? Are the employees always bad or is it the boss? Can the employee relationship ever be strengthened? Here are common reasons why the Boss and Employee relationships are souring these days;
1) Employee performance; Poor employee performance can always frustrate a boss. Employees who don't get work done on time, who lazy around and never follow instructions are inviting serious trouble.
2) Misunderstandings; When there is a misunderstanding between a boss and employee, the boss seems to be always right even when he is wrong. Actually because bosses these days are not humble enough to admit their mistakes that can seriously strain a Boss and Employee relationship. Also, in some cases because employees are unwilling to take counsel from their bosses that can seriously strain a relationship. In short for this relationship to work, both parties should be humble enough to admit their mistakes. However, even when the boss is wrong, because his the boss he never does anything wrong and the employee just has to drag along.
3) Costs and Workload; When it is costly to keep an employee a boss can get frustrated. It also goes the same for the employee, if the workplace is proving to costly for him in terms of missing family time, missing time to do personal stuff and hobbies, that can really frustrate an employee. When both the boss and employee are frustrated, that can really strain a relationship. If a boss has a heavy workload at the workplace, he will usually take out the frustration on the employees and if the employee has a heavy workload from the boss, he/she will get frustrated. Such circumstances will only lead to poor work relationships.
Employee Employee Relationship
The Employee Employee Relationship is another level which can really negative impact on the company. Whenever the relationship in the workplace is poor, then the strength of a company or an organization may be threatened. Some Employees are enemies with each other while others are friends but whichever way you look at it, the worst is to have an Employee Employee Relationship that only brings the company down. What are some of the things that cause the relationships to sour at the workplace;1) Workplace gossip; This can really ruin an employee employee relationship within seconds especially if the gossip is meant to spoil someones reputation. Please don't be part of gossip at the workplace.
2) Envy and Jealousy; Some employees are envious of the achievements of their fellow employees and just cant stand seeing their fellow workmates making progress. If you are like that, learn to live with it and root out that bad spirit because it can negatively affect the unity in the organization.
3)Respect; Some employees think they are more important than others maybe because they have more professional qualifications or experience.Its one thing to feel more important but its another to treat people badly which some employees do. That is very bad.
