Part 2 of our Podcast with Dr Robin Dunbar - renowned anthropologist, Head of the Social and Evolutionary Neuroscience Research at the University of Oxford, and the mind behind Dunbar's Number - focuses on community building and loneliness in the modern workplace.
In this episode, Robin compares organizations to intimate villages, we dive into the history of community in the workplace, and the profound impact of remote work on team dynamics.
We discuss the challenges of maintaining team cohesion in a remote work environment and strategies to keep team dynamics alive.
And we question, should creating a sense of belonging be a primary focus for HR people?
Check out Robin Dunbar's latest book "The Social Brain: The Psychology of Successful Groups".

Hello - I’m Shelley Doyle, founder of The Communiverse™, Social Wealth Strategist, researcher, and host of the Rediscovering Connection podcast.
My work explores how our social connections and social capital shape social health, leadership, and our experience of modern work and life. Grounded in research with remote and hybrid leaders, I support leaders and organisations to activate their social capital in ways that strengthen connection, trust, and sustainable performance - creating the conditions for people to experience Social Wealth.
One way this comes to life is through Social Wealth Training - Social Wealth Training - relational design for the future of work. These interactive sessions support leadership teams who recognise that connection cannot be left to chance.
