Connect: Communication and engagement in a virtual world

Share Article:

How do we build human connections in a virtual world?

Can we maintain a strong organizational culture and sense of belonging when working remotely?

Creating effective working environments, job satisfaction and productivity is dependent on our ability to connect emotionally with ourselves and others.

But facing the events of this past year, research suggests that 70% of workers are struggling with zoom fatigue, feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety. Remote working is cutting them off from the informal aspect of working relationships and it is more difficult to seek advice or ask for help.

Against this background it is up to leaders and managers to find ways to connect organizations, teams and stakeholders to improve communication and strengthen relationships.

Companies that invest in creating positive cultures for staff have significantly better bottom line performance — engaged employees are innovative employees, cultivate a growth mindset and strive for constant improvement.

This whitepaper will provide you with practical insights including:

  • how to improve connectively by identifying and understanding your strengths and how these impact others

  • recommendations to help leaders connect successfully with others in times of uncertainty

  • tips for retaining a strong organizational culture and sense of belonging when remote working
