The way in which we engage relationally at work shapes our motivation, sense of connection, and inspiration—both for the work that we do and the organization we support. When our relationships at work feel difficult or challenging, employee retention, satisfaction, and dedication suffer greatly. Conversely, when we feel seen and valued at work, we see high levels of employee satisfaction, retention, and dedication. As such, it is important for managers and leaders to understand how to ensure that their employees feel valued, understood, and appreciated for more than the tasks they complete. This is a tangible way to increase productivity and retention while realizing the full potential of each employee.

We all come to work with personal stories and lived experiences. These belief systems and personal experiences impact the way that we show up in challenging moments in the workplace. It is essential to create an organizational system that knows how to navigate challenging situations, support employees managing personal challenges, and address psychological safety. A work environment that prioritizes employee wellbeing and understands these personal factors creates more satisfied and connected individuals and in turn a more productive organization.
