Top 12 Tips to Build Connection at Work | Scott McInnes

This talk is part of our annual Summer Series ’26 – a week of hour-long daily keynote sessions featuring leading voices in leadership, culture and the future of work.

In this session, Scott McInnes, Founder & Director of Inspiring Change and host of the Building Better Cultures Podcast, explores why connection has become one of the biggest challenges facing today’s workplaces. Drawing on insights from the Bridging the Connection Gap research, Scott shares where organisations are falling short and, more importantly, what leaders can do to strengthen connection across their teams.

Rather than relying on one-off initiatives, Scott focuses on practical, sustainable actions that help people feel connected to their colleagues, leaders and organisation every day. His evidence-based approach provides simple strategies that organisations of any size can start implementing immediately.
