How to use rituals to connect with work and retain colleagues

• You can be intentional around your meetings - around beginnings and endings. It's possible to maintain some magic even when people are remote.
• For asynchronous companies, a regular meeting during a suitable time for everyone with your camera on can still be worthwhile.
• Managers need to build time to have one-on-ones and find out how the person is really doing. They don't need to be every week for an hour. They can be bite-sized. But you have to check in.

Workplaces are where people encounter some of the greatest diversity. 

When we are left to our own devices, we naturally gravitate toward people that are more like us. Therefore, we have to be intentional about how we connect with other people, whether it's through bringing together multiple employee resource groups (ERGs) or through mentoring and professional development.
