In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Antonia Dietmann, to discuss the value of social chats in the workplace. Antonia outlines her own doctoral research on the topic, illustrating the value such simple conversations bring to trust and team effectiveness. In the present context, we'd suggest that conversations within teams are more important than ever, so we hope you'll be prompted to reach out to colleagues to see how they're doing.  Resources mentioned in this episode: Antonia Dietmann on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-antonia-dietmann-379b825/ 'Managers should encourage time for non-work chats' - RealKM.com (this includes a link to the PDF Antonia mentions in the interview): https://realkm.com/2020/02/01/managers-should-encourage-time-for-non-work-chats/  Our 'Working from Home' resources: https://www.worklifepsych.com/workingfromhome/
