Communication is not connection. Loneliness and social disconnection has a major impact on engagement and retention. Icebreakers and team offsites are not the solutions to better-connected colleagues. Belongingness happens when people feel like they matter, feel like their work matters, and have one meaningful connection with someone at work. Connection is created through the display of pro-social behaviors. Spotlighting the significance in others is key to a connected workforce.
