Jesus Jesse Hernandez on How Leaders Should Connect with their People

A recent Gallup study reveals a concerning fact: only 32% of employees strongly feel connected to their colleagues, impacting various aspects of business success. This lack of connection leads to reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, higher turnover rates, and lower customer satisfaction.

Highlighting the issue, the Society for Human Resource Management reports that 47% of employees admit to feeling lonely at work. Addressing this is not just a moral imperative but a strategic move for business success.

To combat these challenges, businesses can implement strategies like team-building activities and open communication channels to foster a sense of belonging, unlocking the full potential of every employee.
