Power your business culture with strong workplace relationships_and watch productivity and profitability soar

For years, companies have been implementing programs that promote social responsibility and improve employee health, both of which benefit the financial bottom line. Now itÕs time to focus on positive social interactions and relationships in the workplace. Why? Research shows that authentic, trust-based relationships increase job satisfaction, engagement, productivity, and retention_and even decreased healthcare costs.

In Work Better Together, two experts from Deloitte explain how working remotely, over-relying on digital communication, and always being ÒonÓ is fast-increasing feelings of isolation and burnout_and how a work culture driven by quality relationships can reverse these trends. The authors show how to cultivate positive relationships by:
Focusing on self-care, such as physical health, quality sleep, and taking time off
Tapping into human skills, such as empathy, authenticity, and communication
Using technology with intentionality to strengthen relationships, while breaking the negative habits technology fosters
Managing workplace relationships, whether youÕre in the office every day or telecommuting_or something in between
Developing a culture of strong relationships that drive quality collaboration throughout the organization
Work Better Together walks you through the process of implementing change and fueling a much-needed corporate movement towards humanity in the workplace. Based on the authorsÕ 40+ combined years of experience, it helps you meet todayÕs employeesÕ most urgent needs, while benefitting your organization in real and measurable ways.
