social capital in the office

Social capital is an accepted part of the residential built environment. It refers to positive connections with a community....shared understandings, behaviours that are replicated, and cooperative actions. Social capital has a measurable value and can be enhanced within a work setting to help a business to flourish. Typical benefits to social capital at work include knowledge sharing, lower staff turnover, and a cohesiveness of action that is difficult to obtain through management alone.
