Business is Personal – Maintaining Human Connections in a Digital World

More than a year after the pandemic sent most of us working from home, the wear and tear on individuals is real and starting to show. The biggest contributor to lack of efficiency when working from home is the erosion of relationships. Even as we slowly go back to normal it’s becoming clear that most businesses won’t be going back to the office completely any time soon.

When we are all in the office, it is easy to interact accidentally. You can grab lunch with a buddy, you can make jokes in the elevator, laugh at conversations in passing, etc. When we work remotely, this stuff doesn’t really happen. Keeping relationships healthy is a never-ending task but it is essential for a healthy and functional organization.

In a world where virtually everything changed overnight, one thing remains the same: Human connections still drive business.
