1:45pm-2:20pm EDT Connectable: How Leaders Can Move Teams from Isolated to All In

General Session

Remote work, advancing technology, and an always-on work culture are fracturing our relationships resulting in deep disconnection. A colossal 72% of global workers feel lonely at least monthly; with 55% saying at least weekly. 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. 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.

Combining a decade of leadership consulting and firsthand workplace loneliness research, Ryan Jenkins distills everything you need, 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, retention, and performance with employees at every level―including yourself.

In this session, you will learn:

  • An awareness of loneliness, the modern causes, and its impact on business
  • Ability to identify workers in need of belonging and how to deliver it for them
  • Research-based solutions to create connected, driven, and high-performing teams
