What ComPsych Learning & Organizational Excellence Consultant Dr. Bruce Westfield Thinks
“As remote work continues to shift how we connect, organizations need to be intentional about creating space for people to feel seen, included, and supported. As a trainer, I see firsthand how loneliness shows up in the workplace. I’ve found that employees are hungry for an authentic connection, and when organizations take steps to create that space, it changes the way people show up at work. It boosts morale, encourages collaboration, and fosters sense of belonging that can’t be fabricated.
When people feel genuinely connected, they’re more likely to feel psychologically safe contributing openly, support one another, and stay committed to the organization’s mission.”
