In your opinion, why is it important to develop relationships with coworkers?
This answer may seem obvious to you because enjoying your time with coworkers is sometimes the best part of the job! If you aren't a naturally social person, this question may be more challenging to answer.
Talk to the interviewer about how you develop relationships with coworkers when you start a new job. Think about what is important to you about these relationships.
"I value my relationships with my coworkers because we support each other and make each other laugh when the work environment becomes intense. I have a coworker that I eat lunch with every day. We've helped each other by simply listening to what's happening in each other's lives. It's nice to have colleagues who understand you on a personal level."
"To accomplish anything in a job, you need your team members. I rely on my team members to get projects done. I often call them in when I need advice or to help pick up the slack when I'm in a pinch. If you don't have a good rapport with your co-workers, it can limit your ability to be great at your job."

Project OR Tasks could not be called truly successful if there was a lack of collaboration within the team member and different teams involved in the project. Relations matters a lot as relationships influence the result in a big way. The positive associations with coworkers bring the best out of them, and everyone achieves the goals. The development of a good relationship also boosts the morale of the teams.
