Connection Creates Resiliency - Work Smart. Live Smart.

Learn the importance of having strong social connections in creating resilience.

As life gets busier, we often find that we barely have enough time for ourselves or our families, let alone staying connected with our true friends. Loneliness can set in. Social connections and support are key to building resiliency. Yet, research shows that over the past 20 years we are spending less time with our friends. Lack of social connectedness predicts vulnerability to disease and death above risks associated with physical activity. Lack of social connectedness predicts a higher susceptibility to anxiety and depression. Developing and maintaining positive connections takes effort. Friendships and social connections take time to grow, to build trust and to share common experiences. Research shows that people with strong social ties have reduced stress-levels, and having close work friendships boosted employee satisfaction and overall happiness.
