What Does Gartner Say About Connection?
It is a HR and Organizational Imperative for 2024.
CONNECTION requires INTENTION
From Gartner 2023
In today's evolving work environment, fostering a sense of connection is more critical than ever. According to insights from Gartner, organizations that prioritize cultural connectedness — regardless of where employees work — are better poised for success. By enabling employees to engage with the company culture, both emotionally and intentionally, organizations can foster vibrant, healthy microcultures. This not only boosts employee engagement but also significantly enhances productivity and instills a profound sense of belonging and purpose.
Traditionally, connectedness was achieved organically, or as termed, "by osmosis". This involved cultural diffusion within the office environment, connecting through mere physical proximity, and optimizing large-group experiences. CONNECTION requires INTENTION.
Furthermore, the impact of these intentional connection strategies is quantifiable. For instance:
Organizations can achieve a 43% increase in employee culture connectedness when the culture is woven into everyday work.
A 27% boost in connectedness can be observed when employees experience emotional closeness with their peers and leaders.
Focusing on micro-based experiences can further drive connectedness by up to 19%.
