Work relationships are incredibly important to employee wellbeing, and human beings are born to connect. In this podcast we explore how leaders, colleagues and organisations can foster work cultures and environments that encourage better connections at work. And, how improved social connections at work can drive more motivated, engaged, happy and loyal employees. From connecting with remote workers, to understanding how each of us have different social motivators, and some lessons from primates, this is a fascinating and practical discussion. Grant Cleary is joined by Vannessa McCamley, Principal Consultant at Link Success, and Diana Zweig, People and Culture Business Partner at Ai Group.

In this Ai Group podcast, Grant Cleary speaks with Vannessa McCamley, Principal Consultant and founder of Link Success, a learning and development consultancy specialising in the Neuroscience of leadership, performance and productivity, to unlock an organisation’s greatest assets, that is their peoples’ brains.
