Why Appreciation, Connection, and Communication Builds Great Teams

6 in 10 employees are showing up to work feeling some level of disconnect from their company's mission or purpose -- and ultimately, from their own workplace culture.

Globally, only 4 in 10 employees strongly agree that their supervisor, or someone at work, cares about them as a person. However, when organizations double that ratio, they can experience a 46% reduction in safety incidents and a 41% reduction in absenteeism. 

But with only 8% of managers strongly agreeing that their performance reviews inspire them to improve, how do leaders connect their teams and inspire them to do great work together? 

The ACCORD model covers the 6 key elements of a great manager:

- Appreciation: Saying thanks

- Connection: Human centric

- Communication: Open and clear

- Ownership: Complete buy in

- Respect : Across all levels

- Direction: Common goals and clear structure

In this webinar Niall O’Carroll, Paul Zak, Sanja Licina, and Coman Goggins will discuss the importance of the first 3 letters of the ACCORD model. Learn how leaders can leverage appreciation, connection, and communication to increase psychological safety and team culture.

Join us at 4pm (GMT) Tuesday 25 April for our Leadership Lab Webinar.
