Connection Matters. Now, even more because of the holidays and workplace stress. The holiday season brings joy — but also stress, especially in the workplace. Balancing year-end deadlines with home responsibilities often leads to heightened anxiety and burnout. Did you know? • 51% of employees leave jobs due to a lack of belonging (@McKinsey), and • Replacing employees can cost 3-4x their salary. The cost of disconnection is simply too high. Microaffirmations, transparent communication, and authentic appreciation can help get us through this season and spread the holiday cheer. Invest in connection to build workplaces where everyone feels valued, included, and ready to thrive in the new year. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gBbeN6KJ #TalkingTalent #ConnectedLeader #Belonging
