Building connection is no longer a “nice to have” in higher education, but rather a necessity to employee retention and workplace culture. In a time when institutions are navigating uncertainty and evolving employee expectations, HR professionals play a critical role in helping employees feel seen, supported, and connected from day one.
In this session, participants will explore practical, low-cost ways to strengthen connection throughout the employee experience. We’ll discuss:
- Onboarding strategies that create belonging
- Meaningful conversations that build trust
- Recognition practices that make an impact without requiring a large budget
The session will also introduce the “Hooked Cycle,” a connection-focused approach designed to strengthen employee engagement and retention through intentional touchpoints across the employee experience. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas, conversation starters, and tools they can immediately implement within their own departments and institutions.
