BROTHERHOOD AT WORKPLACE

Selfishness destroys the spirit of people which, further, degrade the quality of atmosphere at workplaces. And, a good atmosphere is the only thing that motivates employees to work with true spirit and full potential. So, brotherhood or togetherness is very important. It encourages people to express their thoughts, concerns and suggestions with open and honest intentions. There are a lot more benefits to work in a co-operative manner. Let us understand the value of brotherhood in this article. 

- Trust and Collaboration 

    

One of the primary benefits of cultivation a sense of brotherhood at work is establishing trust among one another. Trust is the base of everything which then helps employees to collaborate with each other and work together for the better outputs. This not only enhances productivity of any firm, but also increases effectivity in problem solving. People who have trust and collaboration among one another openly share ideas and plans which is very crucial in helping the organisation to grow. Moreover, the working culture becomes so homelike that people will no more get frustrated and anxious. 

- Support

     
 

There are many needs and responsibilities of a person apart from his job. These are equally or sometime even more important than work. During the time of carrying forward these responsibilities a person needs moral support from his colleagues which helps him focus on his top priority and stop worrying about the work. Brotherhood, here, is what that brings mutual understanding and team spirit which are very important aspects in providing moral support. 

It is very common for an individual to feel low at work due to other problems in his life. But, again, working together and helping each other never let a person go down. It encourages him and provides moral support to the person so that he can work with a positive approach by thinking that everyone is with you. 

- Communication

     

How fast and effective people can establish a communication if they share their ideas, thoughts, concerns and suggestions with open and honest heart. This leaves very less chances for a person to think less of his colleagues who is sharing ideas with him. The outcome is very impressive if communication in a team is so transparent and productive. Other than enhancing productivity, a better communication is proved to save time and reduce chances of misunderstanding which often happens between colleagues. So, by working together in a team helps in setting up a better communication, which is one of the most powerful things that are required to achieve a desired goal. 

- Stress reduction

     
 

You often wait for the weekend to spend your time with your family, friends and yourself because you feel free on these days. On rest of the days you do not feel free just because you always have something, related to work, in your mind. However, you can definitely feel relaxed on week days too, given that you do not carry any work problems with yourself. And, that is possible only when you have a very good working culture, which again the outcome of brotherhood at workplace. When your mind always have something to think, it becomes habitual. Later it generates stress in your mind, and you never know why is that happening.  But, a sense of brotherhood can act as a buffer against this stress. This can help people to maintain a good work-life balance. 

Though, it has several benefits to work together with a team spirit, however it can never be achieved just by an individual’s efforts. It is a concept that has to be understood and practiced by one and all. The collective effort is required to attain what we have been talking about in this article. But, it is also true that initiative is always taken by one or some people, it spreads its roots later. So, being supportive and humble with each other at workplaces makes a profound base of brotherhood. 

Brotherhood brings a huge difference.
