Introduction
The topic that has been selected is the workplace
relationships building. This is one of the most
important aspects in the modern day organizational
setup (Robescu and Iancu 2016). Employees have to
develop a proper cooperative understanding with
one another. A positive working culture is needed so
that all are able to develop a collaborative attitude
and a proper team bonding spirit.

Aims
 Employee friendly working culture must be
developed so that they can reach out to their
managers anytime they are in need of any help
(Richmond et al. 2017).
 Managers have to develop a horizontal
communication system so that the employees are
able to reach out to them without suffering from any
kinds of hesitations

Contd.
 Workplace development is needed as the amount of
complications is developing at a very rapid rate in
the modern day scenarios.
 It is for this reason that the managers and the higher
authorities must always try to make sure that they
are developing the employee training and
development skill and training programs (Kreye
2016).

Contd.
 It is often argued that a huge expenditure is needed
from the company’s end if they arrange for some
employee training program or the cross cultural
training program. However the company must make
these expenses because they will have to work over
the issues that often arise among employees because
of the differences between their thoughts and
understanding

Measures for workplace relation
development
 Develop cross cultural training system so that
employees coming from different cultural or
religious platform are able to work with each other.
 Departmental managers must act as a bride between
the employees and the management (Oh 2017). This
helps them for carrying on a proper communication
system so that all the issue are dealt with at the right
point of time.

Contd.
 Workplace development will be enhanced
if the employees are allowed to get some
free time and some time for refreshments
in between their work.

Motivating the employees
 Employee motivation programs must be
developed so that they are able to work
with proper confidence.
 On the other hand, the employees must
be given some monetary benefits as well
so that they are motivated to take part in
all the different workshops and seminars.

Goal Setting Theory in
Workplace Development
 Goal setting theory must be used so that
the employees are able to work over their
skills and be able to win over the short
term goals.
 This is because the employees have to
groom themselves and be able to attain
all the short term goals and objectives.
This will help in developing the self
confidence and self sufficiency among
employees.

Contd.
 Employees will be able to develop the
attitude of facing challenges without any
fear.
 However managers and the other
superiors must be able to help them at
every step by arranging for the different
training and development workshops.

Elements of
workplace
relationship
•Technical skills must be
developed among the
employees by arranging
for some training and
development issues
•Social protection is also
needed by making the
employees know that
hey are being allowed
to socially interact with
each other and be able
to share and exchange
their ideas with each
other as well.

Communication- A Key
factor in workplace
relationship
development
Horizontal communication
is needed in order to make
sure that all the
employees are being able
to communicate at all the
different levels without
facing any issues (Lee and
Kusumah 2019).
Managers must always try
to develop inter
departmental
communication channels
so that they are able to
create a positive
environment and make the
employees feel valuable.

Conclusion
 Therefore it can be concluded that developing a
positive workplace culture is very essential. This
can be done by means of relationship building. This
can be best achieved by using methods like team
activities, assigning project works and other such
team binding activities.
