What happens when we pour our heart and soul into a project, only to have it dismissed or undermined by colleagues? How does that impact our ability to relate and work together? Or when we’re promised a promotion, but a colleague receives it instead—how do we manage the hurt of feeling unseen, unrecognised, or undervalued?
We may aim to be professional and put emotions aside, but as humans, that’s not always possible. Dysfunctional patterns that arise in families can also emerge within work teams. Now, we understand that productive work requires strong relationships, empathy, understanding, and support.
These experiences can affect our motivation and energy. While sometimes changing jobs or moving on may seem like an option, there are times when we can’t, or don’t want to. So, how do we continue working together when conflict and unhealthy boundaries dominate?
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, new challenges have emerged—such as reluctance from colleagues to fully re-engage in work relationships or conflicts arising between colleagues working remotely. Healthy relationships are essential for effective work performance, yet this has often been overlooked in our race to transition to new technology.
If you’re managing a team, how do you keep a team cohesive and strong when personal issues arise between team members? How do you speak to employees in an empathic way when you have to engage in difficult conversations?
At YMU, we have experience working with colleagues, business partners, and various work-related relationships. Our goal is to ensure that everyone within a team feels valued, improving the overall effectiveness and productivity of the workplace.
