Employees who feel genuinely connected at work are nearly seven times more motivated and seven times more likely to recommend their organization as a place to work. Connection accounts for more than half the variation in motivation, retention, and whether people find their work meaningful.

The problem is that the places where connection breaks down are often difficult to see.

The Connection Diagnostic is a simple 17-item self-assessment for leaders. It is built on findings from the Human Connection Study, which surveyed nearly 300,000 employees across more than 1,600 organizations.

It gives leaders a picture of where their organization is creating the conditions for connection and where those conditions are failing across five dimensions that research shows matter most for performance.

It takes about 15 minutes. You will finish it knowing where to focus.
