Building connections with your coworkers is easier than you might think. One simple way to make friends and show your support is by offering to help. By lending a hand to your teammates, you demonstrate that you're generous and reliable. Even if your colleagues don't need your assistance, they may appreciate your offer.CR 145.2

If you have some extra time, don't hesitate to volunteer to help on larger projects. It's a great habit to offer assistance whenever you can.^{[138]https://refer.io/blog/articles/go-the-extra-mile}CR 145.3
