“It feels that life for a lot of people at work has started to just get very corporate and faceless and lacking a bit in humanity.”
As head of business development at H&H, Duncan works with large organisations trying to communicate with thousands of employees spread across different countries, cultures and time zones. And regardless of sector, he keeps seeing the same thing: people feel disconnected.
In this visual and thought-provoking session, Duncan will explore what H&H is seeing inside some of the world’s largest organisations, why engagement continues to fall, and what leaders can do to create workplaces that feel more human.

ABOUT THE EVENT
“It feels that life for a lot of people at work has started to just get very corporate and faceless and lacking a bit in humanity.”
As head of business development at H&H, Duncan works with large organisations trying to communicate with thousands of employees spread across different countries, cultures and time zones. And regardless of sector, he keeps hearing the same thing: people feel disconnected.
Gallup’s latest research suggests that only around 20 percent of people globally feel engaged at work.
Then there’s another statistic Duncan can’t stop thinking about. Ask people how they felt at work yesterday, and a sizable chunk will tell you: sad. It’s a trend that’s difficult to ignore.
Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, redundancies, return-to-office debates and a relentless news cycle, many people are bringing more worry and anxiety into work than ever before.
Yet at the same time, outside the workplace, wellbeing has become a trillion-dollar industry as people look for ways to feel happier, healthier and more connected. So what can employers learn from that?
For Duncan, the answer starts with meaning: “If people feel and understand the meaning during every conversation, interaction or experience, it can help fuel connection, or for them to feel they’re making progress.’
In this visual and thought-provoking session, Duncan will explore what H&H is seeing inside some of the world’s largest organisations, why engagement continues to fall, and what leaders can do to create workplaces that feel more human.
We’ll cover:
- Why do so many employees feel disconnected from their work?
- How communication shapes meaning, belonging and engagement.
- What we can learn from the booming wellbeing industry.
- How we can harness ideas from the ‘DOSE effect’ – dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins – to make life at work better.
If your team feels flatter than it used to, if people seem disconnected, or if you’re trying to create a place where people genuinely enjoy coming to work, this session will give you plenty to think about.
