“How can I get along with my new co-workers?”

It can be a bit scary jumping into a new job and learning to work with new colleagues. Here are a few tips that might make it easier:

• Treat your co-workers the same way you’d like to be treated. Treat them with respect, regardless of gender, abilities, or position in the company.
• Stay away from office gossip.
• When someone gives you feedback that aims to make your work better, accept it professionally and take responsibility for your mistakes.
• Be a team player and help when needed.
