Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Go out of your way for your coworkers. Put on a friendly face for everyone that you encounter. Ask how they are doing and smile while talking to them.
Step2
Keep gossip to a minimum. You may lose popularity points if you are known as the office gossip. Only relay harmless bits of gossip to your coworkers.
Step3
Play the politician. Never take sides in disagreements between others in the office. Try to mediate the situation and if that doesn't work, stay out of it.
Step4
Show that you care. Send a get well card to a sick coworker, offer to take over some work for someone that is overloaded or simply ask about the person's welfare. If people notice that you make an effort, your popularity is likely to increase.
Step5
Host an event at your home. Invite your coworkers over or arrange a night out after work. Make sure that you talk to everyone at least once during the evening.
