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.
