We all work or will work in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a co-worker

In society, there are different people interacting with each other and pushing the world turning. The workplace is no exception. In the company, we have to work with people with various backgrounds and personalities. Hence, having a matching co-worker is an add-up when we confronted repeatedly workloads. He or she might not only increase the efficiency but improve the phenomenon at work. In my opinion, there are three important properties of a good co-worker should have, separately, being communicable, being responsible and being social.

First, two-side of communication is a key in the discussion. When people are open to communicate, it means, people are willing to listen and think twice before acting and speaking out. In my workplace, we usually have a meeting with the different apartments representatives to discuss the project. One of my colleagues who is egocentric and always insists in his viewpoint. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to convince him of accepting most assessable way in the project. He largely shed the efficiency of the team and ruin the start of a day.

In addition, assuming the responsibility is the important factor. People who hand over the duty or job on time can make the whole process on the right track. In other words, the delay and the procrastination seldom happen. I am used to work with a slow pace, if I have an emergency to deal with the jobs because of someone make a delay, I feel anxious and stressful and become easy to make mistakes in the course of the job.

Finally, having a good social circle at work makes people less stressed. I am a kind of person who like sharing interesting stories or personal experiences while taking a break. Most of my co-workers respond passionately and takes care of each other. Therefore, be social is a crucial to make the boring phenomenon interesting and full of laughs. Besides, social people are more willing to teach others how he would do. The good skills and ideas can spread out and pass off to everyone.

In conclusion, co-workers, who are communicable at the work, responsible to their jobs and social to the phenomenon, can make the work efficacious and help create a positive work environment.

In society, there are various people who interact with each other and set the world in motion. The workplace is no exception. In the company, we have to work with people from different backgrounds and with different personalities. A suitable colleague is therefore an asset when we are repeatedly confronted with workloads. He or she could not only increase efficiency but also improve the working atmosphere. In my opinion, there are three important qualities that a good colleague should have: he or she should be communicative, responsible and social.

First, two-way communication is key in discussions. When people are open to communication, it means they are willing to listen and think twice before acting and speaking up. At my workplace, we usually have a meeting with the representatives of the different apartments to discuss the project. One of my colleagues is egocentric and always insists on his point of view. Therefore, it takes a long time to convince him to accept the best solution for the project. He largely destroys the efficiency of the team and ruins the start of the day.

In addition, taking responsibility is an important factor. Handing over the task or job on time can put the entire process on track. In other words, delay and procrastination rarely happen. I am used to working at a slow pace, and if I have an emergency because of a delay, I feel anxious and stressed, and I easily make mistakes as the work progresses.

Finally, a good social environment at work makes you feel less stressed. I am one of those people who likes to share interesting stories or personal experiences during breaks. Most of my colleagues respond passionately and care about each other. Therefore, sociability is a key factor in making boring situations interesting and fun to laugh at. Also, sociable people are more likely to teach others what they would do. The good skills and ideas can spread and be passed on to everyone.

In summary, employees who are communicative, responsible, and social at work can make work more efficient and help create a positive work environment.
