AT WORK
We spend around 8 hours a day at work – so it’s important that employees have time to meaningfully connect.
- Host a team lunch, morning tea or after work activity (try making it a monthly gathering)
- Create spaces for informal interaction such as a communal kitchen, a quiet lounge or an outdoor area where people naturally gather
- Set up online group chats around interests that staff can join
- Start meetings with a moment to share (make sure it is optional)
- Create a welcome experience for new starters such as buddies
- Acknowledge and celebrate the connectors in your workplace
