Human connection is leading the future of work. When people feel they can bring their authentic selves to work and engage with their colleagues in a meaningful way, companies see higher returns on productivity, innovation, and engagement.
Despite the value of connection, 60% of employees feel less connected to their coworkers. More than half of employees who left their jobs in the last year said they lacked a sense of belonging. With disengagement and employee turnover resulting in trillions of dollars lost globally per year, not focusing on connection and belonging could be one of the costliest people mistakes businesses can make.
