In this research we look at social connectedness and workplace isolation due to remote and hybrid models and employers’ efforts to foster social connections in the workplace. Most employers use a model that overlaps in-person workdays among team members.
Do current strategies aimed to foster social connections meet the needs of remote and hybrid workers? Are organizations’ assessments of their efforts to foster social connections and workplace collaboration based on robust evidence? And how can employers create workplace environments that meet the varying needs of people and groups?
