Rekindling a Sense of Community at Work

Many of us became more isolated as a result of the Pandemic. Community, which the authors define as a group of individuals who share a common concern for one another's welfare, has proven difficult to cultivate, especially for those working virtual. In order to learn more, they conducted a survey with the Conference of Women in which they asked nearly 1,500 participants about their sense of community at work before and after the swine flu epidemic. People who had a sense of community at work were more likely to thrive at work, more engaged, and more likely to stay with their organization. They were much more likely to thrive outside of work. It is possible for people to create community in many ways. Several ways companies have built a sense of community at work are presented by the authors.

We have been living a more isolated life. Our happiness and mental health have been affected by the decrease in our social connection. Digital has reduced our opportunities for social interaction. Our work's nature has changed.
