The latest research from Achievers Workforce Institute (AWI) finds that just 15% of employees feel connected to their colleagues and only 28% feel capable of meeting unexpected challenges.
And yet, it’s connection - to the mission of the organization, to one’s manager and to colleagues at work - that drives the resilience of individuals and teams so they can survive and thrive through anything.
There's still uncertainty about how to tackle the disconnect, especially in remote and hybrid worlds, when historically we've relied on team-building activities, social events, and communication in real life.
By creating an environment where employees feel they belong and can build relationships, organizations enhance trust and collaboration – in turn, cultivating a workforce that’s committed to the company’s long-term success. So why not join us and see what practical strategies you can begin to implement?
In this interactive panel discussion, UNLEASH will be joined by David Bator, AWI’s Managing Director, and Peggy Anderson, VP of Talent at Shutterfly to share tactical, practical perspectives on the central role that employee recognition plays in making employee connections frequent and meaningful, and how organizations can shape the behaviors that help their people, their teams, and their company grow.
