Presenting: The Impact of Changing Socialization and Belonging Needs of Employees
In 2023 The U.S. Surgeon General identified that there is a loneliness epidemic with the rate of close friends and social interaction rapidly declining. What is the ripple effect of this at work? For us as HR professionals? With fewer friends we are less healthy and less tolerant of people different from us along with so many other reasons. How does this change in socialization and teams at work? Come for this interactive workshop paired with networking time with your colleagues.
At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
• Recognize key factors in socialization and connection needs of employees
• Evaluate data to situations and experience on the job
• Understand the connection between belonging, relationships, and performance on the job
