Like workplace romances, friendships between co-workers can also create tricky situations unless handled appropriately.

This is especially true when you suddenly find yourself supervising one of your buddies.

How can you handle this situation in a positive way? It is possible to make sure you preserve your friendship and create a positive and productive work environment for everyone involved.

We recommend that you just own it! Your existing rapport with your friend can actually benefit the team. You understand each other on a personal level already, and you can each can pick up on social cues that may have been missed with someone you don’t know as well.

You can also trust this person because they already have your support as a friend. This support and really, their honesty when it comes to work-related issues, may help you make better decisions for your team and your company.

Be mindful, though, of the rest of your team. Avoid any behavior that may be seen as favoring your friend. If concerns arise, act quickly and take the opportunity to talk openly with your staff. Establish expectations and provide assurances that everyone will be treated fairly.

Are your employees using their paid time off? According to new studies, the answer to that question is probably, "No." In fact, unpaid PTO has doubled since 2019!

If you are an employer, you may need to re-think your perceptions about PTO. If your employees know they are able to take time off without guilt, you are more likely to have happier and more productive team members.

So what should employers do? Try a very simple tactic: encourage leadership to take time off. This creates a positive workplace culture for staff to emulate and feel more comfortable when they request their own time away from work.
