Let’s Fix the Disconnect!
We get it — keeping teams connected and motivated right now is no easy task. And it’s not just your office. Gallup’s 2025 report shows that only 23% of employees feel engaged at work. No wonder things feel a little… off.
That’s why we created improv-based corporate sessions designed to get people talking, listening, laughing—and actually feeling like a team again. These sessions aren’t just fun (though they are)—they’re about rebuilding trust, boosting morale, and reminding people why they enjoy working together in the first place.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Disconnection at work isn’t always loud—but it’s widespread. According to another Gallup poll, only 3 in 10 employees strongly agree that their opinions count at work. That’s more than a morale issue:
Teams where people feel heard experience 27% lower turnover.
They have 40% fewer safety incidents.
And 12% higher productivity.
When managers learn to truly listen and create space for contribution, the ripple effects are measurable.
Isolation at work is rising—even in shared spaces. Cigna’s workplace loneliness study found that 58% of U.S. employees experience feelings of isolation, disconnection, or not having someone to talk to. These numbers remain high post-pandemic, showing that the problem isn’t just remote work—it’s relational habits. Without intentional practices, teams grow colder, quieter, and more withdrawn.
Improv breaks that pattern fast. In just one session, it can rebuild rapport, warmth, and mutual trust, giving employees a chance to reconnect in a natural and engaging way.
Why Human Connection Matters
Workplace disconnection isn’t just about poor communication—it’s about a lack of human connection. BetterUp reports that employees who feel socially isolated are 2.6 times more likely to seek a new job. Loneliness doesn’t only happen in remote work—it happens in crowded offices too, when people don’t feel seen, valued, or part of a cohesive team. And when that sense of belonging is missing, morale and performance suffer, no matter how strong your business strategy is.
Gallup also found that only 2 in 10 employees strongly agree they have a “best friend” at work—a key marker of emotional connection and engagement. People don’t need best friends at work, but they do need trust and a sense of belonging. Without those, initiative, collaboration, and creativity stall.
Improv Builds Connection—Fast
Corporate improv isn’t just a performance tool—it’s a team-building tool. To be successful in improv, every participant must be connected as one cohesive team. It’s built on trust, unity, and collaboration, requiring time and practice:
Making eye contact.
Listening without an agenda.
Practicing “Yes, and” to build on each other’s contributions.
These basics may seem small, but they become the building blocks of a connected, familiar, and high-performing team.
A recent manager at Pfizer shared:
“Our session showed us that inviting people for drinks after work was never going to get our team where we needed them to be. We just weren’t sure how to get there. These two hours were perfect, and your team did a bang-up job in leading everyone from a polite-but-separate way of working to a happy, connected group again.”
Whether your team is in-office, remote, or hybrid, improv can reignite that spark—transforming disconnected groups into motivated, collaborative teams.
