Loyalty
According to the HubSpot blog, the loyalty of someone who has a close friend at work may increase by several dozen per cent. Friendships among employees therefore keep quality and experienced people in the company, despite other possible negative aspects.
Satisfaction
A satisfied employee is a quality and effective worker. Friendship at the workplace improves satisfaction on average by more than 50%.
Health
From a statistical point of view, friendships at the workplace are good for the health of employees. Those who have friends in their work collective are on average healthier. This might be connected to the fact that friends help you face various challenges, and the levels of stress in individual employees thus decrease.
Productivity
By working on projects with their friends, the productivity of employees goes up. Team spirit is stronger and employees really do work as a team.
Innovation
As friends often talk about work even in their free time, together they can come up with a number of new solutions and ideas that they would not think of during regular working hours.
