Health benefits
From a statistical point of view, friendships at the workplace are good for the health of employees. Those who have friends in their work collective are on average healthier. This might be connected to the fact that friends help you face various challenges, so stress levels in individual employees go down.
Employee loyalty to the company
According to ChangeBoard, the loyalty of a person who has a close friend at work goes up by several dozen per cent. Friendships among employees therefore retain quality and experienced people at the company, despite other potential drawbacks.

Higher productivity
