We've known for quite some time that connections at work are important for engagement and productivity. This article from Harvard Business Review gives a fresh perspective on four interrelated and essential elements including connection with colleagues, leader, employer and role. This is a well worth reading. Thanks to authors, Brigid Lynn, PhD, MPH, Khalil Smith, & David Rock. #connectionsatwork, #Culture #Employeeengagement

Interesting article based on interorganizational research collaboration with the research team at the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI), along with technology firm Akamai. They 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). What is your workplace doing well? How are some employers getting it wrong and why so many are resisting return to work mandates etc. #connect #collaboration #teamdevelopment #teameffectiveness

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

Connection in the workplace is commonly thought of as a single dimension that prioritizes interpersonal relationships with co-workers. However, in a recent 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: 1. employee connections with their colleagues 2. leader 3. employer 4. role This more accurate and 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. #CollaborationAndTeams #WorkplaceNetworks #StarrAdvisoryGroup

When staff come to the #workplace they build relationships along 4 distinct tracks: with their colleagues, their #leader, their #employer, and their own role. All good so far. There is a plethora of studies providing insights into how to navigate returning to the workplace in person. All have meaningful insights and #evidence of some type. #Organizations, clearly in much smaller form, have been around for hundreds of years. And they overwhelmingly convened in person. Fair to ask how does the recent data compare to those hundreds of years of in-person connections, for which we have no or little data? #data #future #leadership #innovation #management #humanresources #socialnetworking

With many employers requiring workers to return to the office, they are finding varying levels of success in doing so. One of the reasons is a limited understanding and appreciation of the various types of relationships that exist in office cultures. In this new Harvard Business Review article, the authors explain how a more nuanced approach to interoffice relationships that considers the following four interrelated elements: employee connections with their colleagues, leader, employer, and role, can help make the return to the office more successful and rewarding for everyone.  #leadership #careers #employeeengagement

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

"It’s crucial that business leaders move beyond a one-dimensional view, and get clear on what workplace connections really are and how to leverage them to create the best outcomes for their employees and business." #leadershipdevelopment #connection
