'Youngsters Bet On Friendships At Work For Job Happiness'

Throwing more light on the behavioural aspects of millenials, nearly one out of three who participated in the survey believe that socialising with colleagues in person would help them advance their career.

"Three out of five millenials workers in India report that socializing in-person with coworkers makes their working environment better," the statement said.

Further, 45 percent of the millenials surveyed in the country said that they have confided in a colleague instead of a friend or partner for relationship advice.

Besides, 45 percent professionals in India reported that friendships with colleagues made them more productive at work as compared to a global average of 34 percent.

Interestingly, 19 percent of millenials would sacrifice friendship with a colleague for a promotion, the survey said.

On the other hand, about 28 percent of those aged between 55-65 years opined that friendship with colleagues did not have any bearing on their performance at work.

The survey 'Relationships at Work' covered more than 11,500 full-time professionals around the world.

Respondents between the ages of 18-65 were surveyed in 14 countries including the U.S. India, Australia and Hong Kong.
