The Work & Organization Division is excited to announce an upcoming live event open to all IPPA members: Social Wealth: What Does It Take for Leaders to Truly Belong?

The longest study on human happiness confirms it: relationships are the foundation of a good life. Yet loneliness is now a public health crisis — more damaging than smoking 25 cigarettes a day.

Most research focuses on loneliness as an individual experience. Shelley Doyle asked a different question: What does it take for leaders to feel socially wealthy?

Social wealth is not about status or network size. It is a deep sense of trust, ease, belonging, and reciprocity with the people and groups in our lives. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative research with over 1,200 Canadian leaders, Shelley explored how remote and hybrid leaders experience social well-being — and how their choices to activate, maintain, or neglect their relationships shape their social health.

Join us as we explore her findings and what leaders and organizations can do to activate their social network, so they can feel socially wealthy – within and beyond the workplace.

Please note: Registration ends two days before the event, please register before June 21st.
