Employees who have a best friend at work are seven times more engaged than those who don’t. What’s behind this staggering statistic? And why are workplace friendships still considered objectionable by many? On this episode of The TalentGrow Show, Halelly chats with author, keynote speaker and leading expert on friendship Shasta Nelson about how to cultivate a healthy approach to friendships in the workplace and reevaluate harmful taboos on the topic. According to Shasta, the workplace, by default, provides a fertile ground to grow meaningful connections, and leaders should be encouraging this potential in our teams. Learn healthy relationship skills to benefit your entire workplace, discover the three requirements at the foundation of every relationship, and find out what you can do as a leader to help spark positive friendships in your workplace and maximize engagement seven-fold. Plus, get Shasta’s advice for staying connected in today’s ‘epidemic of loneliness’ brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic! Listen and be sure to share this episode with friends.
