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".
