How to Get Along with Your Co-Workers

1.Greet your co-workers when you see them. A simple "good morning" goes a long way. Being pleasant and cheerful at work is a benefit to you and those around you. Putting your best foot forward can help you actually feel better and it also helps the perception others have of you. Being well liked in the office is definitely better than being known as the office grouch.
2.Try not to get too involved in office politics. Getting involved in office politics can be counterproductive and lead to negative repercussions. Avoid joining cliques and do your best to get to know everyone in your office.
3.Be a team player. If you are working with your co-worker on a project, do your part and as much as you can to avoid unnecessary stress on your teammates.
4.Be considerate. Keep personal calls and conversations at a minimum in order to not disturb co-workers nearby. Make sure you don't conduct any activities that would interrupt their productivity.
5.Give credit where credit is due. If your co-worker takes the initiative on a project or comes up with a good idea, compliment him for his work.
6.Don't throw co-workers under the bus. In other words, don't go out of your way to point out a co-worker's mistakes or limitations, especially in front of other co-workers or your boss. However, if you need to give constructive criticism or feedback, do so at an appropriate time in private.
7.Don't get involved with office gossip. Not only is it a total waste of time, it's also a very negative practice. If a co-worker tries to speak about another co-worker with you, politely change the subject and let her know you would rather not talk about it because it's not your business.
