Get to know people on a personal level
The first and most foundational thing you can do is to get to know your colleagues as people — not just coworkers — and support them.
Invite them to lunch or to chat over a virtual coffee. Suggest other people that would be good for them to connect with, or if you are in the office, take the initiative to introduce them yourself. The same goes for those colleagues with who you may have fallen out of touch.
These small gestures can make all the difference. After all, if you and your coworkers are going to spend 40 to 50 hours a week together, you may as well enjoy the company.
