Cultivating Community Is Key In The Future of Work

Creating space for employees to connect with each other is essential in the hybrid workplace for employee engagement, retention, and productivity. But as we continue to push toward a new world of work centered on our shared humanity, what we’re really craving is community. Community is more than just a point of connection or an open passageway for communication — it’s the human foundation of our society and should be the foundation of our work lives as well.

Building inclusive communities with enough space for authentic, meaningful relationships strengthens an organization by uniting our teams with a shared purpose, interconnectedness and interdependence. When organizations focus their attention on cultivating true community, they center employee humanity and bolster psychological safety, belonging and engagement. 

In this webinar we will discuss: 

• The difference between creating space for connection and cultivating community (Happy hours/fun slack channels vs. meaningful, trust-building relationships built for longevity) 
• How work communities support DEI initiatives and are the basis for inclusive cultures 
• How individualized support can improve interpersonal relationships and strengthen communication skill
