Welcome to AccelPro IP Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. This interview is part of our AccelPro Career Tools series, where we explore topics including wellness and client relationship management. Our host is internationally recognized journalist, author and NPR host Celeste Headlee. Today we’re featuring a conversation with Tara Antonipillai, Founder & Principal at Cultivate.
We discuss the detrimental effects of a lack of connection in the workplace, including anxiety, substance abuse, burnout, etc., and how this widespread issue has sharply increased with the recent rise of remote work. The lack of physical workspaces has left many, especially those who started their careers during the pandemic, isolated and dissatisfied with their jobs.
Tara offers advice on how small, sustained behavioral changes are the best way to improve these kinds of environments. Something as simple as picking up the phone to call a coworker—and avoiding Zoom fatigue—can help a team become healthier and more connected.
