Have you heard the term “social health”? It encompasses the types of interactions people need to thrive socially. Regardless of how introverted or extroverted a person is, each of us needs some form of positive social interaction with other people. At the workplace, these interactions occur through communications, actions, and behaviors toward and with coworkers and others.
Social conditions can play an enormous role in both mental and physical well-being. People need positive interactions with others and a sense of connection and belonging. It’s one of the many benefits beyond a paycheck that most of us derive from the workplace. A lack of positive social interactions can have a serious detrimental effect on overall well-being.
