PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP
What is Professional Relationship?
A professional relationship is an interpersonal
connection between two or more people in a place of business. Professional
relationships are usually more formal than relationships that exist outside of
work. These expectations help keep personal issues and situations from
interfering with business operations. A professional relationship is built
between two or more professionals and observes a set of established boundaries
or limits.
Types of Professional Relationships
There are several types of professional relationships you’ll likely encounter in your career. The first are those you develop with your coworkers, who may be other individuals within your organization that you’re acquainted with. You may not work directly alongside them, but you know who they are and may chat with them occasionally. You may also have professional relationships with other stakeholders in your company (such as suppliers and customers).
A vital professional relationship is the one you’ll have with your manager or direct supervisor. Your manager determines your hours and tasks while on the job. You also likely work with that person to review your career objectives and accomplishments each year and determine whether you’ll receive a pay raise.
Another important professional relationship that some may
have is one with a mentor. This relationship is typically more intimate than
one with a manager, as a mentor often works with you directly and provides
guidance to help you navigate through and succeed in the professional world.
