In a compassionate workplace culture, projects are assumed with enthusiasm, based on the natural desire to create, innovate and improve.  People working in groups of mutual respect and responsibility have a greater sense of belonging and a stronger desire to reach shared, beneficial goals. Positve relationships and friendships ensure the involvement and reinforcement for innovative group processes. Gallup polls on “Best Friend at Work†support the role of friendship in employee engagement, happiness, productivity and loyalty. Fearful environments do not promote friendships and, instead, cause suspicion, paranoia, rivalry and insecurity.
