Why Friendships at Work Matter for Employee EngagementMany people spend more time with their coworkers than with their families or friends outside of work. Therefore, it makes sense that having good relationships with your colleagues can have a positive impact on your work experience and performance. One of the most widely used measures of employee engagement is the Gallup Q12 survey, which includes the question "I have a best friend at work". This question reflects the degree of social connection and support that employees feel at work.

They also report higher levels of satisfaction, loyalty, and commitment to their organizations.

Thousands of studies have established the point most of us already know intuitively: simply put, when employees feel a real connection to their job, they work harder and stick around longer.

You didn’t need an agency to do the work for you. Just had to fill in some information and let the app do its work.
