A good, enthusiastic and energetic office
environment helps employees to work with great efforts and grow higher. But, it’s
not just about the structure, interiors etc. colleagues, bosses and management
also plays an important role. When you join a new office, on your first day,
you be ready to meet the new people and environment. Whether you are an
experienced or fresher, every office has its own identity that you come to know
after joining it. You can expect that in whatever environment you were, same
you would get in your next. But, whether good or bad, you can’t find the
similar atmosphere in every office. As I already said, it’s not about
architecture, interior etc. it’s depend on you and people working in the
organisation as well as rules of the company. So let’s try to understand it...
Boss
Your boss is somehow directly responsible
for the office atmosphere. A cool person may help you to learn new things, but
may not help at every problem and ask you to find out the solution. He/she can
make the environment light so that you can work comfortably. Though, in this situation
few members enjoy their job and perform lower. While a strict boss may help you
by giving solution of every problem, but may his/her strict behaviour make you
feel down and again result lower production or business.
If both type of bosses are not good for the
business then who need to be selected as the boss! Actually a common mind set
is – there are two types of bosses - one strict and second cool, but it’s not a
universal truth. There is a third type of boss can be found, though it’s not
easy but not impossible.
A boss who has expertise in the field with
a cool attitude and happy life can make your working a lot easier for you. A
professional boss always separates his personal and professional life, as
mixing both creates problems. A perfect boss separates both lives and focus at
one on the specific time, be happy and keep their employees happy. And this is
not only applicable on bosses; employees also come in the same circle. So you
also need to become a perfect separator.
Colleagues
Your colleagues support you when you are
new in the office as well as introduce new people to you. Interacting with
everyone helps to build a professional relationship that can be useful when you
stuck at a point or face problem, here your colleagues can help you. Working in
a team requires team effort, and if your colleagues are not helpful then you will
suffer. Though completing your assigned task is always good and after that you
can help others. To become a good employee and colleague try to help your
colleagues to finish their tasks after completing your assignment. As when your
team would finish the project within or before the specific time limit, you would
get some time to spend with the team. This time can be utilised by discussing
the challenges you face to complete the given task and how to improve your team
efforts, skills etc.
Competitive
and Joyful environment
Workload can increase anytime, in this
situation only joyful working environment can help to complete your task within
specified time limit. Few bosses think that when you have a lot of work,
employees should work for longer hours and go for fewer breaks. But as per my
experience, whenever people work for a goal in a joyful environment, they not
only enjoy also put their more than 100% efforts to complete the task. It is
like, I got a challenge and I will prove that I am the best. Competitive plus
joyful environment give employees extra energy, so whenever you find something
impossible, just think about the challenge and find out the ways to fight with
it.
It might possible you would not find all
the qualities at your present, previous or future office, but you can try to build
them with the help of your team and boss.
People who join new office look for the
working environment similarly when people hire a company for a particular job they
consider it as well. In the most of the cases, I found that when a big brand
hires a virtual employee always consider their working environment, because
they know if the environment is nice and enthusiastic they can expect real good
business.
