Invest in Positive Relationships at Work

Research shows that we find our jobs more fulfilling when we have positive relationships with the people we work with. This isn't something that will happen on its own, so be purposeful and systematic about it. For example, you could organize a social event with your colleagues to get to know one another better. Or, you could offer to help a new or younger employee navigate the company as they settle in. Or, you could consider what you don't know about the coworkers you see every day — What motivates them? Why did they join the company? What do they hope to accomplish in the future? — and set aside time to find out. Even a mundane job can be meaningful if you do it alongside people you care about and connect with.

Adapted from "To Find Meaning in Your Work, Change How You Think About It," by John Coleman
