"As evolved beings, we are social animals... the other important human need, after autonomy or control, is to be socially engaged."
Professor Sir Michael Marmot, The Lancet 2006
we need to be included
Professor Marmot's research findings over a period of thirty years suggest that social context is crucial for health, and this applies both within organisations and in the wider societies in which we work, live and play.
we need to learn
Healthy social engagement is intimately linked to social inclusion, satisfies our need for recognition and status. Social engagement also creates opportunities for learning together, which satifies our desire for meaningful work.
learning together
From our experience of working with clients, we know just how important it is to consider the social and emotional implications of learning. We have found that people helping and supporting each other socially and emotionally is crucial for effective learning.
