Lynk.

Thank you Emblaze for an insightful and engaging experience!

We're excited to be heading to #Transform2024!

?? Calling on My Network for Help ?? My name is Jeffrey Emile, and I am the Founder and CEO of Lynk., a Future of Work employee engagement & retention startup focused on bridging the gap between remote and local employee experiences. The pandemic caused a universal shift in how many of us work and left organizations with no choice but to rethink their People strategy from the ground up Flexible work arrangements have allowed many of us to regain time lost in commuting, given organizations access to larger talent pools, and created opportunities for many to be more present in their family and home life Despite the many advantages provided to both employees and companies, a new challenge has emerged – The intrinsic need for human connection, trust, and belonging in the workplace While no one wants to return to unnecessary traffic commutes and hold onto the many advantages afforded by flexible work, people also want to build informal connections, trust, gain access to mentorship, and feel connected to their teams, leaders, and company Over the past year, I’ve had the honor of building new relationships with many of you who have shared how you've been navigating this new world of work Some of the questions that have repeatedly come up are: 1. How do we help distributed teams build trust among themselves and with their managers? 2. How do we create an inclusive workplace that promotes psychological safety? 3. How do we empower our managers to create opportunities for connection without it becoming a burden? 4. How do we nurture informal connections? 5. How can we help people find the right mentors? 6. How do we measure that we’re doing this right? After many conversations, we learned that this was not an isolated problem but one affecting the vast majority of businesses everywhere Shortly after, our team began exploring how we could use technology as a tool to solve this problem I’m proud to share that we have identified a unique way to bridge the gap between remote and local employee experiences and help create better-connected workplaces through a combination of leveraging AI, data, and micro-experiences. We have already begun testing with various teams and have seen positive results. High-performing teams don’t happen by chance, and while there is still much to be learned, we’re excited about the possibilities ahead. -- This brings me to my request: I am looking to connect with as many Workplace Experience Leaders, People Operation Leaders, CHROs, COOs, Chief Digital Officers, and Employee Engagement & Experience Leaders who are actively working to solve this challenge and are exploring solutions for their distributed and remote workforces/teams. If you are interested, please feel free to message me directly here on LinkedIn, email me at [email protected], or visit our website (www.letslynk.com) Feel free to also share this message with anyone you know who might be interested. Thank you in advance for your help. Best, Jeff

Organizations that fail to prioritize trust risk facing disengaged employees, fragmented teams, and ultimately, diminished performance." #futureofwork #employeengagement #employeeexperience #employeewellbeing
