Setting the Stage
The purpose of the Connections Building Block is to provide psychologically
safe facilitators recommendations and guidance on the value of securing
psychologically safe connections in the workplace.
Perceived loneliness has been shown to lead to various health issues as well as
being a factor in premature deaths. These social connections not only support
the individual's physical health, but also their mental health.
With employees spending more time with co-workers than with their families, it is
imperative for organizations to help facilitate authentic social connections in the
workplace.
