THE HUMAN CONNECTION CHALLENGE

Why do we struggle to connect in today’s world?

Research shows that the average person engages in multiple disagreements each day, often without resolution. According to a study by Columbia University, only 34% of individuals actively seek to find middle ground during conflicts—highlighting a significant barrier to meaningful connection. In the workplace, this disconnection manifests in miscommunication, unresolved tensions, and declining team morale.

The result?

51% of employees are open to or actively seeking a new job (Gallup, 2024). Disconnection and feelings of being undervalued drive people away from organizations. At its core, a workplace is a web of relationships, and when those relationships falter, retention and productivity suffer.

But there’s a way forward.
