Creating a Culture of Micro Moments

Building connections in the workplace can be achieved through the cultivation of micro moments. These are small, spontaneous interactions that don’t require elaborate planning but can foster an environment of camaraderie and openness. For instance, initiating a simple check-in at the start of team meetings, where everyone shares three words about their feelings and two anticipations, can provide insight into colleagues' personal lives in a low-pressure way. Over time, these quick exchanges help build trust, leading to deeper conversations and stronger relationships within the team.
