Better chats → better days → better work.

"it was easy to meet and easy to chat, and we discovered a friend in common" Justin - member, P9 Hove
The biggest predictor of happiness, motivation and feeling that work is meaningful and that you matter? 👉 Having a good friend in the workplace. But making connections in workplaces and co-working spaces isn't always easy. The reason? Since the pandemic - in the smartphone age - we are all a bit less sociable and a bit more introverted than we used to be. So if you're finding it harder to make new connections, it's not just you. In a recent UK survey, 42% of workers said they don’t have a single close friend at work. This matters because social time is proven to make a real difference to your work, and how you feel. • Workers who took breaks together reported 19% lower stress and 23% higher productivity. • Salespeople who were paired with a random team member for weekly lunches saw a 24% boost in their sales figures. 👉 So why not turn your everyday lunch into a chance to meet someone new and feel the impact on your day? At Let’s Do Lunch! we make it easier to turn lunch into real connection, belonging, and better work.
Hi, I’m Nigel Berman, a member of P9 – I am trialling this idea to help people connect over lunch, with the idea of maybe turning it into something.
Feel free to get in touch with any questions, feedback or to say hi!
