The Power of Touch and Corporate Performance
As Executives and Turnaround Professionals continue on in their quest for creating sustainable growth during these difficult times. I thought I would offer a tool that creates huge benefits for you and the company with no associated costs. What is this great tool, well, It’s a simple touch, such as a hand on the shoulder, or a high five to an associate. I have linked below a New York Times article which suggests that a simple touch gesture reduces stress for both people. It sets off the release of oxytocin, a hormone that helps create a sensation of trust, as well as reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The article points to numerous other benefits from the power of touch.
