Designing workplaces for human connectivity with Peter Mandeno
Peter Mandeno is an expert in the science of human connection. His work goes beyond simply explaining why connections matter to show organisations how to improve connectivity outcomes by design – for employee engagement, wellbeing, creativity and performance.
As many countries in the Global North grapple with societal loneliness epidemics, in tandem organisations are encountering rising social friction at work. Yet strong bonds with work colleagues underpin successful collaboration, innovation and long-term business sustainability.
In this episode, Jen, Cat and Dom discuss what Peter discovered during his PhD research and why human connection is so invaluable. They also explore what organisations can do to improve engagement and wellbeing at work.
Takeaways
- Organisations need to create the conditions for authentic and meaningful connections to happen naturally in the workplace.
