Synopsis

When Covid-19 forced a sudden shift to remote work in 2020, it only exacerbated what had been a long-simmering issue in the workplace: Feelings of isolation and loneliness among employees are on the rise, and contribute to a real and growing mental health problem that affects both individuals and organizations. In Connectable, you'll learn how addressing the issues—and finding practical, effective solutions—can transform an isolated workforce to one that's happier, more engaged, and more productive in their efforts.

With more than a decade spent helping companies lessen worker loneliness, Ryan Jenkins and Steve Van Cohen distill their methodology in this book, showing you what's causing today's loneliness, the role inclusion plays in solving it, and how you can decrease loneliness and increase belonging, engagement, and performance with employees at every level—including yourself. You'll learn: how to develop emotional intelligence to show up for others; how to identify lonely or depressed employees; how to create psychological safety for employees; how to create environments of belonging and inclusion; how to create and cultivate connections across teams (in person or remote); how to create connected, driven, and high-performing teams using the four-step Less Loneliness Framework™; and more.

Goodreads review by Dale on September 18, 2022

One of the best and most practical leadership books I have read. The book began slowly for me. I was already familiar with the reality that individuals are increasingly feeling lonely. From a more academic perspective, this story was told well in Robert Putnam's book Bowling Alone. I have also evide......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on January 03, 2023

There are many things people feel they lost during the pandemic. Beyond the tragic loss of life and major changes in routines, the loss I hear about most is the loss of connection. Both personally and professionally, the very real sense of isolation has grown as travel has been restricted and the wo......more

Goodreads review by Rodney Shae Andrews on December 12, 2024

It’s important information and topics that the book raises such as loneliness and how to combat it in the workplace. However, I really felt like this is an example of a book that could’ve been half the length… Not necessarily bad takeaways, but I struggled to get through it at times because of how d......more
