The title may be a little funny to get your head around. I am not saying that all relations in the work place will lead to disaster; rather I am saying that if relations in the work place are strained then they can then lead to disaster. Following is seven points that are worth considering so that you are able to keep work place relations civil. A comfortable work place starts with how employees interact with each other, your suppliers and customers.

#1 ? Ensure your workers get along.

This may sound easy enough to some and exceedingly difficult to others. If your employees don?t get along then they are not going to feel like they belong to part of a team. If you have a problem with this focus on some team building exercises. This should loosen up some of the more shy employees and give them a chance to interact with the more verbose. If your employees don?t get along the less they will communicate with each other making it easy for the team to lose focus on the bigger picture.

#2 ? Handle rumours before they get out of hand.

If there is a rumour going about which may hurt the reputation of one of your employees take steps to stop it from spreading. The comfort of the rumoured employee depends on it.

#3 ? Do not play favourites with certain employees.

This can lead to resentment from other employees. Treat all of your employees equally. If you want to reward a specific employee then give them a bonus in their pay or reward them with movie tickets.

#4 ? Celebrate staff birthdays and make sure all of the staff is included in celebrations.

If your employees have little celebrations every so often for birthdays don?t exclude certain employees. Again this can lead to resentment of not only you but of other employees. Don?t let exclusion lead to work relationship problems.

#5 ? Be available.

This is less about what your employees are doing but more about what you can do for your employees. If you are never available to answer employee queries or talk about what is troubling them then things can get out of hand if there is a problem. This will help you diffuse situation before they blow up.

#6 ? Don?t lie!

This relates to the previous point. If an employee is unhappy about something and they ask your opinion tell them honestly. A white lie can often do a lot more damage than just flatly telling the truth. Make sure your word it tastefully though.

#7 ? Don?t allow things to boil over.

This is important because things can quickly turn sour. If employee A has a problem with employee B then make sure they work together to fix the problem. There is no point just pandering to one or the other or taking sides. If you take the side of the wrong person you might soon find your whole staff resenting you. Pleasant relationships at work can help improve employee productivity.
