When we think of “connection in the workplace” we think of “a single dimension that prioritizes interpersonal relationships with co-workers.” But research from the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI) along with technology firm Akamai have other elements to add to the mix. They found that connection in the workplace is “made up of four interrelated and essential elements: employee connections with their colleagues, leader, employer, and role. This nuanced view of workplace connections has implications for how organizations can design intentional talent strategies to create workplaces where employees are committed, engaged, and performing.” A shift in perspective that can mean more than we realize. #Connection #BusinessLeadership

Many employers misunderstand that workplace connection goes beyond just interpersonal relationships with coworkers. 🔍 Workplace connection includes relationships with work, leadership, and the company itself. 🚪 Quiet quitting and the Great Resignation are signs of broken connections between workers and their employers. 💼 Fostering authentic relationships with leaders and work is just as important as building bonds between colleagues. 🎯 Employers must rethink strategies to strengthen all forms of connection to improve engagement. #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement #Leadership ♻️ Repost if you enjoyed this post and follow me, César Beltrán Miralles, for more curated content about leadership! https://lnkd.in/gmRzxnHT

Surprise! Return to office mandates are having a negative impact on retention, productivity, and engagement. And a really interesting new article from Khalil Smith, Brigid Lynn, and David Rock, at the NeuroLeadership Institute, explains in part why that might be... "Connection in the workplace is commonly thought of as a single dimension that prioritizes interpersonal relationships with co-workers. Indeed, research shows social connection is extremely important. However, in a recent interorganizational research collaboration, the research team at the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI), along with technology firm Akamai, identified that connection in the workplace is, in fact, made up of four interrelated and essential elements: employee connections with their colleagues, leader, employer, and role (CLEAR)." As usual, there is no one size fits all policy fix to the issue, and it's up to leaders to find ways to make it work. But one thing is absolutely certain- knowing the connection preferences of your team members is a great place to start. Want to learn how you can use the CLEAR connections model and leadership coaching to navigate this space?

People do what they value, but often they don't understand their values. When we facilitate a conversation on values and motivations with a team, the 'aha moments' come thick and fast. We also help people discover whether they're being motivated in their current role and empower the team to help everyone get more of what's important to them. Growth, trust, autonomy, authenticity, equity, care, knowledge, impact, and more. Make conscious choices to increase job satisfaction, retention, and empowerment. #values #wedowhatwevalue #powerful #insights #teamsessions

Feeling connected to your company doesn't just mean liking your co-workers... In fact, new research has found that connection in the workplace is made up of four "interrelated and essential elements": employee connections with their team, leader, employer, and role. The more we as leaders understand these nuances, the better we can build cultures that support connection in all these areas. And that to me sounds like building a company people want to work for. #ServantLeadership #EmployeeEngagement #CompanyCulture

Workplace Connections and the Return to Work Impact!! I thought this was a really interesting read about workplace connections and a holistic decision-making process regarding the impact of "return to work." The article discusses the different types of connections at work and how these are impacted by the return-to-work decision. Viewing and assessing all of them is more likely to ensure the right decision. #Connections #Leadership
