The vital role of human connection in employee retention

In today’s virtual world, the need for human connection in the workplace is more important than ever. Since 2020, we’ve been finding ways to build bonds remotely, yet many people still feel isolated, with 69% of employees lacking a strong sense of belonging. As our Chief Commercial Officer, Roland Glass, highlights, nurturing real workplace relationships helps people feel valued, eases stress, and leads to higher productivity.

Studies confirm that having a “best friend” at work positively impacts mental wellness, loyalty, and job satisfaction. While fostering these connections remotely may seem challenging, platforms like Enboarder make it possible. Enboarder empowers HR teams to create welcoming, interactive onboarding experiences, bringing people closer—even from a distance. This personal approach boosts productivity and retention, essential in today’s fast-paced market.

“Enboarder lets companies onboard staff in a way that is personal, exciting, and unique to them. The process is done through vibrant and interactive tools that make people feel right at home and immediately connected”
– Verna Agenbag, Customer Success Lead at Kindred Technology.
