Connection Powers Performance.
Connection underpins stand out leadership, drives individual performance, bonds teams and breaks down organisational silos. Connection is the bedrock upon which great cultures are built.
We’ve partnered with businesses worldwide, including; Google, Facebook, Linked In, Virgin, Cricket Australia, Moet Hennessy, Kraft Heinz, Asahi, Guardian Media & Culture Amp, to tackle disconnection within their teams and leadership, elevate their culture, drive high-performance, achieve strategic goals, and humanise the way they work.
Why Connection?
The Problem: Our People Are Distracted, Disengaged And Disconnected
Trust, empathy and compassion are plummeting. Change and transformation efforts are getting stuck, productivity is declining and shame, blame and a lack of accountability are rife. Our workplaces have the lowest levels of belonging and engagement ever recorded.
Our workplaces have the lowest levels of belonging and engagement ever recorded:
- 79% of workers worldwide are disengaged
- Over 50% are lonely and disconnected, and meet the criteria for burnout
