Social Connection in the Age of COVID: Ideas and lessons for the workplace and beyond

A few months before COVID19 really hit, one of our staff members Rhiannan Mundana and I were chatting in the kitchen about how great it would be if Spatial Vision had a social club. Rhi wanted to see more connection across teams beyond the standard Friday drinks, lunchtime crosswords and the odd (very competitive) table tennis tournament.

Armed with activity ideas, input from her teammates, and a catchy name to boot, my only reaction was “Yes! We should totally do that!”. With excited minds we were all set to begin our culture building journey…

And then COVID happened.

Ep 2: Making a Commitment

It’s hard to ignore the devastation the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to lives and livelihoods around the world.

With over 1.2 billion daily visits to the John Hopkins COVID-19 dashboard, the world is desperately seeking answers. Where are the cases concentrated? How many deaths?

Understandably, there are many concerns, yet underneath it all, one question remains:

When will it end? Or rather, how will we get out this?

Ep 1: Think Global, Act Local

Increasingly employees and leaders of organisations, including commercial businesses are asking:

How do we make a positive difference to our world?

The United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a challenge and framework for moving towards a more equitable and sustainable world for all to share now and in the future.
