Our actions in the workplace can help promote social connectedness within our organizations, which has been proven to reduce burnout and increase innovation, engagement, and work quality. Here are some steps that both employers and employees can take to increase company connectedness: 1. Create a workplace culture that allows staff to connect with one another on a personal level, acknowledging that employees are more than just their professional contributions. 2. Put in place policies that protect employees' ability to nuture their relationships outside of work and create a culture that supports these policies, respecting boundaries between work and non-work time. 3. Educate others in your organization about the importance of social connectiveness for wokplace well being, health, productivity, performance, and retention.
