• Educate the workforce on the significance of social connection for workplace well-being, health, productivity, performance and retention.• Implement organizational policies that protect workers’ ability to nurture their relationships outside of work, including respecting boundaries while workers are off the clock and advocating for caregivers

• Acknowledge the pros and cons of flexible work hours and arrangements and how they can impact employees’ abilities to connect.Benefits of Strong Social Connections In The Workplace Fostering strong social relationships in the workplace bolsters job satisfaction, creativity, competence and better job performance.
