Stop Googling. Let’s Talk.
When two people are talking, having a cell phone in their periphery changes what the talk about and the amount of connection they feel...
Over the past 30 years, empathy has declined by 40%, mostly since the year 2000.
This has an effect at work as so many of us are tethered to our devices. Remember, connection is an important part of feeling engaged and loyal to one’s employer.
It can also affect how we relate to one another outside of work, as many of us blur the lines between working- and non-working hours.
How are you supporting your workers in taking their needed time away from work when they are not “on the clock”? Or are you hindering those efforts by expecting responses to after-hours texts and emails?
How can you help your employees to connect with one another?
