Emotional Intimacy in the Workplace

Wait, what?

Okay, Choose People—you’ve officially lost it.
‍
Emotional Intelligence? Sure.
Culture? Yep.
Relationship-building? Absolutely.

But emotional intimacy at work? Really?

Yes. Really.

Here’s the deal: as human beings, we crave emotional intimacy. We’re wired for it. We want to be seen, known, and to feel that we matter. So why wouldn’t we want that in the place we spend 2,000 hours of our lives each year?

The problem is, in most workplaces, that craving gets met in sideways, watered-down ways—like gossip, sarcasm, or scrolling. These are cheap hits. Imitations of connection. They’re like duct tape when what we really need is super glue. The kind that’s made from sitting around a campfire, singing car duets, or sharing a sunset after a long day.

So what does emotional intimacy actually look like at work?

It looks like this:

Real-deal connection
Intentions are trusted
Affinity and alliance
Belonging
Making a difference
Being witnessed
Fulfillment of meaningful purpose
Feeling safe and seen
Feeling proud, honored, welcomed
Smiles and spontaneous laughter
Thoughtfulness and generosity
Shared commitment to the greater good
Momentum with ease
A sense of place and purpose
Grace and empathy
Inspired, energized effort
“I’ve got your back” vibes
Mutual trust and unspoken respect
Calling forth each other’s potential
The energy in the room you can actually feel
“We've got this”
Banding together when it hits the fan
Standing for each other’s success
Real-deal caring—people who genuinely give a rat’s patootie
That “We’ll be damned if we let this stop us” spirit
Sparkle, grit, and that belly-deep belief that anything’s possible
Creative problem solving where no idea is too dumb
Mistakes that are truly seen as learning
Where people don’t say they have an open-door policy—because they actually live it

If you want your team to bring their whole selves to work—this is the secret sauce.

Every year, every single team member gives 2,000 hours of their life to your organization. Make that experience worthy of your mission.
