End Incivility. Cure Burnout. Build Belonging Through Real Connection.
We help organizations turn burnout and disengagement into performance and retention by restoring relational well-being through the science of workplace friendship.

Disconnection is Draining Your Culture—and Your Bottom Line
- External Costs: Burnout, turnover, incivility, lost innovation
- Internal Frustration: “We’ve offered perks, but people still feel isolated.”
- Philosophical Truth: High performers dread Mondays—not because of the work, but because they feel alone in it.
Relational well-being is the missing piece. Without it, even high-functioning teams struggle with trust, empathy, and a shared sense of purpose. Loneliness doesn’t just affect individuals – it corrodes the entire culture.

Belonging is your fastest lever for performance, and it starts with relational well-being.
When teams develop the skills to form respectful, trust-filled connections organizations see:
- 50% lower turnover risk
- 7× higher engagement
- 42% more innovation output
- 75% fewer sick days
Why it works
Friendship at work is not about being social. It’s about building a culture of relational well-being starting with civility that fuels loyalty, health, and high performance.

You’re not alone in this. We've helped organizations rebuild connection from the inside out.
