As workers adjust to return-to-office mandates and new hybrid structures, employers are left to figure out what it will take to bring their employees together.
According to employee recognition software Nectar, nearly 70% of employees agree that they would be happier if they had deeper connections with their colleagues, and almost 80% agree that connections are important to company culture. But whether the workforce is a mix of fully remote workers and office workers, or all hybrid workers, it’s become increasingly difficult to create opportunities for connection in the last four years. That’s why employers should rethink how they design their offsites and ask themselves if they’re really making the most out of a rare occasion for colleagues to bond outside the workplace, says Lisa McDowell, chief marketing officer of Immersive Gamebox.
