The Importance of Belonging: Connection Culture

Research has shown that a lack of social connection is more harmful than smoking 15 cigarettes per day and carries more risk than a lack of exercise, consuming alcohol in excessive amounts, or obesity. Connect with other OD professionals to learn more about the unique role organizations can play in combating loneliness, creating places of belonging, and encouraging authentic connections. Explore the latest research to understand workforce trends and dive into what it means for employees to be in connection. Finally, learn the specific actions necessary to create a culture of connection and belonging.
