How does the lack of social interaction impact your bottom line?
How this impacts YOU?
Retention
The absence of social interaction and the loneliness experienced by employees, contributes to higher turnover rates. 76% of U.S. workers with close friends at work are more likely to remain with their employer.
Engagement
Isolation and loneliness among employees leads to decreased engagement, which in turn lowers productivity and diminishes the enthusiasm of service. Just a 5% increase in engagement leads to a 3% boost in profitability.
Profitability
The resulting disengagement and high turnover rates elevate recruitment costs and diminish customer satisfaction, ultimately reducing profitability. Did you know that when 60% of employees have a best friend at work, profits increase by 12%.
How this impacts your employees?
Social skills
Limited exposure to diverse social settings or prolonged isolation from peers can erode our social aptitude. This negatively impacts the ability to effectively communicate and connect with customers. Just as a language requires regular practice to stay fluent, our social skills also need consistent engagement to thrive.
Health
Studies have found that people with larger and more diverse social ties tend to have better physical and mental health, as well as increased longevity. Meaning… the more close social connections that you have, the longer you will live!
Motivation
A lack of variety and social engagement can lead to decreased motivation and enthusiasm for daily activities. This lack of drive and passion can ultimately result in lower productivity and subpar work output, directly impacting profitability.
