Overview.
Research indicates that detachment from our work can adversely affect our mental well-being, motivation, stress levels, responsiveness, and even cognitive abilities. Even more concerning, this withdrawal can create a self-reinforcing cycle that is hard to escape. If you aim to re-engage with your job in the upcoming year, focusing on more intentional interactions during your workday can be beneficial. Such interactions can help disrupt the cycle of disengagement, reducing feelings of loneliness while revitalizing your energy, creativity, and sense of purpose. Here are five simple actions to foster meaningful connections throughout your day: 1) Start or take part in a collaborative project; 2) Organize a small brainstorming meeting; 3) Request feedback from peers; 4) Take breaks away from your desk; and 5) Connect with your community.If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your job recently, you’re not alone. The numbers are stark: More than half of U.S. workers feel disengaged from their jobs, creating substantial costs not only for their organizations but for their own careers and wellbeing.
