The sobering part of COVID-19’s ability to span the globe at breakneck speed demonstrates just how connected we are as a human species. Yet, at the same time, there is a substantial body of research emerging that tells us that even though we are more connected than ever before, many of us are facing an increased sense of loneliness and isolation at work. In fact, recent research has found that belonging in the workplace, a leading indicator of both intent to stay and performance– is at an all-time low. On the flipside, a growing body of research indicates that there exists a positive relationship between social support and job satisfaction, performance, retention, and increased sense of purpose and well-being on the job. Given the continually changing landscape of work, successful organizations will be the ones who learn to apply the most insightful lessons of psychological science to cultivate an environment that inspires their people build and foster social well-being and connection. Drawing from her deep knowledge of human behavior, Stanford University-trained Psychologist, Board Certified Coach, and author of the getAbstract International Reader’s Choice Award book, The Burnout Fix (McGraw Hill, 2021), Dr. Jacinta M. Jiménez, will deliver a presentation to reveal 3 key science-backed steps to bolster belonging and social connectedness in the workplace.
