Workplace loneliness is a hidden force impacting 72% of global workers. Research from Gallup, Cigna, and Deloitte have found that socially disconnected employees are 7x more likely to be disengaged, miss work 5x as often, and quit 3x as much. Learning how to build meaningful connection at work has become paramount in an age of growing isolation and loneliness. Join Wall Street Journal bestselling author Steven Van Cohen in this fun, interactive workshop, where you'll learn the secrets for moving team members from isolated to all-in.

Learning Objectives

  • Establish communication is not connection and how loneliness and social disconnection impacts engagement and retention.
  • Discuss workplace solutions that better-connect colleagues.
  • Explore ways to create belongingness and connection through pro-social behaviors.
  • How spotlighting the significance in others is key to a connected workforce.
