In today's business environment, it is ever more important to have trusted relationships and contacts with colleagues in several areas of your company. In times of change, these people can keep you clued into the future changes to expect in the organization. Additionally, established relationships with superiors can keep you ahead of the curve when mandates or company directives will be forthcoming. Proving to be an accountable and committed employee can also help if your superiors are ever challenged about your performance.
It is also important to learn from these individuals about the progress they have made within the company. They can give you insight regarding challenges and opportunities they faced when they were in your position. You should reach out to these individuals to see what they would have done differently, and ask them for insight in your role.
More importantly, it will also help you reach your career objectives if you reach out to those who are in areas that you ultimately want to be involved in. Demonstrating interest and establishing an ongoing relationship will help keep you fresh in their mind when an opportunity comes about.
