According to a global study conducted by Workplace Trends, 60% of employees who were surveyed in 10 countries, claim that they would work with their company for a longer period if they have more friends at the office. The study also revealed that having a best friend at work helps you cope up with the highs and lows and improves your productivity, thereby promising career growth.

According to research conducted by Gallup, there’s a concrete link between having a best friend at work and the extent of efforts employees exert at the workplace.

The study stated, “For example, women who strongly agree they have a best friend at work are more than twice as likely to be engaged (63%) compared with the women who say otherwise (29%).”

“Those who [have a best friend at work] are seven times as likely to be engaged in their jobs, are better at engaging customers, produce higher quality work, have higher well-being, and are less likely to get injured on the job,” the study mentioned.
