Make your employees want to stay forever.
If your employees are lonely—and 3 in 5 Americans are—they're twice as likely to be planning their exit.
Replacing them is costly—in time, money and team morale.
(Use the calculator to estimate your annual cost.)
Dealing with constant turnover is exhausting. Every departure means more recruiting, more onboarding, and more time before anyone’s really contributing. It can feel like a revolving door.
Now for the good news: strong relationships at work are the #1 reason people choose to stay—and the top predictor of job satisfaction.
Most organizations leave connection to chance—assuming employees will build relationships on their own. The extroverts probably will … eventually. Everyone else needs intentional structure.
When connection is left to chance, it can take years. ProjectConnect builds it in hours.
“I got to know my colleagues better in five hours than I had in five years of working together. ”
Schedule a call to explore whether ProjectConnect is a good fit for your organization.

“Project Connect is a helpful framework for making space for connection in the workplace. The program takes away the need for community members or leaders having to figure out conversation starters or an inclusive group structure on their own. The program is flexible enough to adapt to our specific needs and has been well worth the investment of time, energy and money.”
