We spend most of our day at work. This may sound sad or bleak, but it is a fact that reveals how life is configured today. Our schedules and routines are set around working hours. Our colleagues are the people we spend the most time with and with whom we share, in addition to work, usually a personal relationship. That is why it is so important to take care of relationships in the work environment. Problems that may exist in this area affect us in many ways and impact our health and personal well-being
Individual consequences
The most serious consequences are suffered at the individual level. When a person is not comfortable in their workplace, they tend to suffer a series of negative consequences that make them enter a destructive loop.
In the workplace, it is not uncommon for productivity to decline. Conflicts, excessive workload or lack of certain resources can generate distraction or difficulty in concentration, which has a noticeable impact on work. In addition, there may be job dissatisfaction, which leads to increasing demotivation.
On a personal level, it can lead to stress and anxiety disorders. The fact of not finding and having to endure high work pressure can cause these health problems. In addition, suffering from stress or anxiety can also be reflected in other pathologies with various symptoms, such as insomnia, headaches or gastric problems.
The business consequences
The consequences of a poor working environment not only affect workers on an individual and personal level, but there are also a number of negative consequences for the company itself as an institution and as a group of people
A bad working environment implies poor communication but also low morale and little commitment to business objectives. Lack of motivation and conflicts lead to a tense atmosphere in which tasks are not carried out effectively
All this can lead to increased staff turnover, which no company wants as this involves training and adaptation periods that often hinder work. This leads to a decrease in the quality of service offered, negatively affecting customers, if any.
These factors lead to a negative effect on the company's reputation. If these conflicts are not properly managed and a bad atmosphere is avoided, the company may be affected at a reputational level, which will make it difficult to attract and retain customers
