LinkedIn:
'Millennials think workplace friendships help career'
Research by LinkedIn claims
that millennials are far more inclined to believe socialising with their
colleagues will help them climb the career ladder than their older colleagues.
The Relationships@Work survey
found that around a third of 18 to 24 year olds believed that hanging out with
workmates would help their career while only five per cent of baby boomers felt
the same way.
A large number of Millennials
also agreed that friendships in the workplace have a positive impact on
happiness, motivation, and productivity. However, fewer than half of workers in
the 55-65 age range reported that it had no effect on their performance.
Despite the value put on
friendship by young employees they don’t appear willing to let them stand in
the way of their career. 68% of millennials surveyed said they would have no
problem sacrificing a workplace friendship to get a promotion – nearly the same
percentage of baby boomers said that they wouldn’t.
