Expert advice on how to connect a lonely workforce-and improve employee engagement and productivity
When Covid-19 forced a sudden shift to remote work in 2020, it only exacerbated what had been a long-simmering issue in the workplace: Feelings of isolation and loneliness among employees are on the rise, and contribute to a real and growing mental health problem that affects both individuals and organizations. In Connectable, you'll learn how addressing the issues-and finding practical, effective solutions-can transform an isolated workforce to one that's happier, more engaged, and more productive in their efforts.
With more than a decade spent helping companies lessen worker loneliness, Ryan Jenkins and Steve Cohen distill their methodology in these pages, showing you what's causing today's loneliness, the role inclusion plays in solving it, and how you can decrease loneliness and increase belonging, engagement, and performance with employees at every level-including yourself.

How to create psychological safety for employees
How to create environments of belonging and inclusion.
