If office is the 'second' home for any employee, how happy should an employee be to go to office every day and deliver exceptionally well? All the successful teams - may they be from Companies, NGOs, Sports, Governments, PSUs, Religious Order, Brands, etc - demonstrate one common ingredient. Commitment from each of the team members' is that ubiquitous ingredient. What makes any team member committed to the cause/purpose? Of the myriad reasons, bonding is at the bedrock of the commitment drive. The comradeship manifests in different ways in any 'purposeful team'. Research shows that workers are happier in their jobs when they have friendships with co-workers. Employees report that when they have friends at work, their job is more fun, enjoyable, worthwhile, and satisfying. Gallup found that close work friendships boost employee satisfaction by 50% and people with a best friend at work are seven times more likely to engage fully in their work. This Case Debate's objective is to enable an interesting debate on the ways to nurture bonding amongst employees. Are there any best practices to nurture employee bonding? Should companies be mandated of bonding threshold limits? Moot point however is, are there any tried and tested ways to nurture employee bonding? Given the generational divide in companies and boom in startup companies, employee bonding is even more important. As the Case Debate illustrates an intriguing situation - based on a true story - in a startup, even the CEOs must reflect on the ways to engage with employees to nurture the bonding.
