The Power of Intimacy in the Workplace is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of supervision meetings, staff training, clinic systems, and performance review. In Intimacy in the Workplace, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better performance, lower drift, and more sustainable team development, not in abstract discussion alone.

They are indicators of disconnection and a sign that turnover is on the horizon. In a post-covid world where workers are more in-tune with their needs as human beings, organizations must be connected with these needs to ensure staff engagement and longevity. Research conducted just prior to the pandemic surveyed 1,789 full-time U.S. employees. Their findings reflect that feelings of belonging in the workplace were associated with 56% increase in job performance and a 50% drop in turnover risk. However, recent data of the BCBA workforce from defy community (n.d.) shows that only 54% of BCBAs in the workforce report having a professional support network.In an era where we are battling quiet quitting, movements against after-work gatherings and desires for more work-from-home opportunities while also balancing the need to scale at a meaningful pace, connectivity is harder than ever to achieve organically. This presentation will review the processes used at a multistate ABA organization to strengthen employee connection by focusing on building intimacy in the workplace from a variety of different angles. We will review the core aspects of intimacy in the workplace, its benefits and applications for ABA organizations in 2024 and beyond.
