The Power of Human Connection: How Leaders Can Increase Retention, Drive Human Performance, Build High-Value Relationships, and Create Belonging at Work

In this timely, interactive, and highly actionable presentation, Smiley makes the case that the future of work is human connection. In the age of AI, 43% employees don’t feel a sense of connection to their coworkers, 38% don’t trust their coworkers, and 22% don’t even have one friend at work. 70% of employees are disengaged from their jobs—with disengagement at a record high. Employee disconnection leads to lower productivity and lower rates of retention. Meanwhile, creating high levels of workplace belonging is good for your people and good for your business. Employees who experience high levels of belonging at work have greater resilience, well-being, personal and professional growth. They experience a 56% increase in job performance and 170% increase in employer promotor score, and better-connected employees save large organizations up to $52 million a year. What is workplace belonging and what are the key factors for creating more belonging for yourself, your team, within your organization, and for your customers and clients? Smiley will share an interactive exercise for fostering team engagement and psychological safety, and practical tools and actionable habits to foster more human connection in every stage of the employee experience; from recruitment and hiring, to onboarding and training, mentorship and coaching initiatives, learning and development programs, customer and client relationships, sales systems and growth strategy, team building exercises, and even weekly 1-on-1s and check-ins. At the end of this presentation, your team will have an easy-to-use action-based toolkit to create a culture of human connection for your people, your customers, and your company. KEY AUDIENCE TAKEAWAYS: • Learn 5 ways to increase human connection at work. • Understand the definition of psychological safety and how to foster higher levels of psychological safety on your team, including a simple exercise to try at your next team meeting. • How to deepen trust and build high-value relationships with coworkers, customers, and clients. • A concrete example of how one company built higher levels of human connection among their employees. • A practical action-based toolkit every leader, manager, and individual employee can use to build a more connected, collaborative, and engaged culture of belonging at work.

Belonging in the Future of Work: Creating Human Connection and Community in the Era of Hybrid, AI, and Overwhelm

In a lonely, nonstop, overwhelmed workplace; as time spent face-to-face has been replaced with wall-to-wall Zoom meetings, 24/7 Teams messages, and the rapid rise of AI and ChatGPT; workplace connection has withered. 40% employees don’t feel a sense of connection to their coworkers, 40% don’t trust their coworkers, and 20% don’t even have one friend at work. 70% of employees are disengaged from their jobs—with disengagement at a record high. Lonely employees are less productive and cost U.S. employers $4000 per employee and $150 billion a year. Meanwhile, high levels of belonging can save a company $52 million a year and provide employees with greater resilience, well-being, personal and professional growth.

Engaging the Multigenerational Workforce: How to Be a Future-Ready Organization and Attract, Retain, and Engage Top Talent Across Generations

In the age of AI and automation, as the war for skilled talent grows more competitive and the labor market tightens, six generations are meeting together in an ever-evolving hybrid workplace for the first time in history.

Building a People-First Hybrid Culture: How to Thrive in a Hybrid Workplace

In the wake of the pandemic, the vast majority employees prefer hybrid work and say they would a leave a job that doesn’t offer a hybrid policy. However, too much of the conversation on hybrid focuses on what days employees are working in the office and what days they are working from home. Workplace belonging expert Smiley Poswolsky believes that more important question is why; why are people coming together in the first place? Smiley argues that hybrid isn’t where we work, it’s how we connect in the future of work. All too often employees are being dragged into the office at 8am on a Monday morning, only to find that the rest of their team (and their manager!) decided to work from home. Or, they come into the office and find everyone on their team on Zoom calls all day long, with noise-cancelling headphones on, leaving them to wonder, “Why did I just sit in traffic for 45 minutes?!” In this timely and highly actionable presentation, Smiley will help you shift from a hybrid work policy to a hybrid work purpose, designed to foster human connection and engagement in-person at the office, virtually on Zoom, Teams and Slack, and everywhere in between. Smiley will address key questions like: How do we make hybrid meetings more inclusive? How do we avoid proximity bias and make sure that everyone has an opportunity to grow and develop, regardless of how often they are in the office? How do we create high levels of psychological safety, trust, and belonging for all our employees, across different time zones, geographic locations, and levels of seniority? Smiley will help your team create a hybrid culture action plan, designed to make the hybrid workplace a place where every employee can thrive and do their best work. At the end of this presentation, your team will have an easy-to-use toolkit to reimagine a connected and collaborative hybrid culture that puts your people first. KEY AUDIENCE TAKEAWAYS: • Learn 5 ways to build a high-performing hybrid workplace. • Understand how to foster higher levels of psychological safety for hybrid teams, and how to build trust in a hybrid environment. • A concrete example of how one company’s hybrid policy was used to create more human connection and belonging among their employees. • Simple actions to make hybrid meetings more inclusive, enjoyable, and effective. • A practical toolkit to build a more connected, collaborative, hybrid culture that puts people first.

Friendship in the Age of Loneliness: The Power of Friendship to Ignite High-Performing Teams, Build Resilience, and Thrive in Overwhelming Times

We are lonelier than ever. Half of Americans are lonely, and half of employees do not feel connected to their teams. Friendship is at its lowest level in 30 years. Meanwhile, the research is clear: employees who have a best friend at work are 7 times more engaged in their jobs. In the wake of the pandemic, it’s more clear than ever that our friendships are vital to our health and happiness. But why can it feel so difficult to keep those bonds alive—especially at work? In his recent book, Friendship in the Age of Loneliness, workplace belonging keynote speaker Adam “Smiley” Poswolsky proposes a new solution for the mounting pressures of modern life: focus on your friendships. Smiley will share how leaders and managers can increase human connection and create more belonging, ignite high-performing teams, and increase well-being, by building supportive communities inside and outside of the workplace. Smiley will share practical habits on how to create meaningful connections, deepen personal and professional relationships, foster team psychological safety, develop a care mindset, and be a Minister for Loneliness at work and in your community. In this inspiring and timely talk, incorporating interactive and playful connection exercises, Smiley reminds us that nurturing old and new friendships is a ritual, a necessity, and one of the most worthwhile things we can do in adult life. KEY AUDIENCE TAKEAWAYS: • Learn 5 ways to create a culture of human connection at work. • Understand the definition of psychological safety and how to foster higher levels of psychological safety on your team, including a simple exercise to try at your next team meeting. • Learn 3 habits to build deeper and more meaningful connections at work. • A practical toolkit every leader, manager, and individual employee can use to build a more connected, collaborative, and engaged culture of belonging at work.
