(gentle music)

2
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:10,930
- Genuine relationships with
your coworkers and managers

3
00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:13,270
have obvious benefits for your career,

4
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:14,700
but they've also been shown to

5
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:16,130
improve physical health

6
00:00:16,130 --> 00:00:18,290
and employee retention and loyalty.

7
00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:19,980
So here are three ways you can build

8
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:22,168
more meaningful relationships at work.

9
00:00:22,168 --> 00:00:24,130
(gentle music)

10
00:00:24,130 --> 00:00:25,240
Try learning more about

11
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:26,980
someone's background from social media

12
00:00:26,980 --> 00:00:29,230
or by asking a mutual contact about them.

13
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:31,370
This can help you figure
out if you're compatible

14
00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:34,268
and share common interests
and career goals.

15
00:00:34,268 --> 00:00:35,560
(gentle music)

16
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,120
Shift the focus off yourself

17
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,818
and think about how you
can help the other person

18
00:00:38,818 --> 00:00:40,770
and make an impact together.

19
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:42,726
Try to highlight how your
complimentary skillsets

20
00:00:42,726 --> 00:00:44,500
can create a better product

21
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:45,656
or improve team culture.

22
00:00:45,656 --> 00:00:48,030
(gentle music)

23
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:49,985
Being generous with your
time and helping others

24
00:00:49,985 --> 00:00:52,269
can be mutually beneficial in the long run

25
00:00:52,269 --> 00:00:54,850
and it's a great way to pay it forward.

26
00:00:54,850 --> 00:00:56,530
So next time someone reaches out to you

27
00:00:56,530 --> 00:00:57,740
in a professional setting,

28
00:00:57,740 --> 00:00:59,860
slow down and try to get to know them

29
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:01,663
and find ways to open doors for them.

30
00:01:01,663 --> 00:01:04,246
(gentle music)

31
00:01:05,334 --> 00:01:08,001
