Celebrating Friends and Friendship

Building on two decades of original research into workplace issues and friendship patterns, and based on an international survey of 400 men and women and over 100 interviews, sociologist Dr. Jan Yager offers insights into how to succeed by mastering workplace relationships. Yager discovered a relationship unique to the workplace and business that she calls it a workship--more connected than an acquaintance but not as intimate as a friendship. Workships, especially positive ones, help work and business to be more productive and even more fun and are the AAasAA"e;safestAAasAAA and least complicated work connections.
