Out-Of-Office Socialization: Is It Good Or Bad?

​Every company encourages their employees to be positive and work together as one toward success. Pleasant relationships in the office make the day easier and less stressful. But, what happens when the working hours end? Is socializing outside the workplace the right thing to do or not?

The answer depends on your type of work, as it could be either helpful or turn into a disaster. 

Let us talk about how socializing can affect your relationships at work.
​Positives
The successful people in the world of business have a common characteristic, and that having a broad network. They have a lot of connections to many different family within and outside their industry. 

Not everything important happens inside the workplace alone. People can make major decisions or solve problems at a restaurant while having lunch or dinner.

Top factors why socializing with your co-workers is beneficial to you:
  • Knowing them on a deeper level. You get to know more of their personalities.
  • You can develop your presence in the company.
  • It increases your likability.
  • You can gather more useful information about the company you work for.
  • It boosts confidence as you develop genuine friendship.
  • It promotes confidence and teamwork.

A company normally has established a structured activities on a regular basis. But, good things usually happen during coffee breaks, walks to the door or parking lot together, or in group chats or texts with co-workers. The conversations during these instances are informal, comfortable, and private. It forms trust as everyone lets their guard down.

Negatives
Out-of-office socialization may be more relaxed and informal, the personality of the person during this time can have a huge bearing on how his co-workers will perceive his actions. What you do and say is crucial. 

It helps you form camaraderie and connections when you talk about positive stories about your family, exchange vacation experiences, among others, while drinking and partying. 

On the other hand, if you drink too much, then create a scene, it is not the way to gain friends among your co-workers. Also, if you trash talk anyone in the office, you can kiss friendship goodbye.

Finding The Right Balance
Most likely, the company you are working for does not restrict its employees to socialize together after work hours. Eating out or drinking beer with your co-employees once in a while is fine, but think twice about interacting with the management, as it could raise some eyebrows.

Conclusion
The goal is to be professional in and out of the office. One great opportunity to interact with the people at work is through carpooling. Make sure you have auto insurance when you do it.
