Community is among the oldest aspects of humanity’s journey to modern day. The majority of workers spend 40 or more hours weekly at work in an office (or home office, which still counts), usually with the same handful of teammates and coworkers. Establishing a sense of connection with each other is important for employees mental health, and also business success.
The increasing landscape of hybrid work and dispersed workers has only made this more important when your employees are most likely not working face-to-face throughout the week, or have ample opportunities for water cooler chats.
