Dr. Bloom and Ms. Yanosy explain the impact of attachment trauma and how our early life experiences shape our long term health and wellbeing. With this in mind, they provide an overview of the ACEs study and draw connections between trauma, behavior, and how difficulties of one individual can translate into collective problems in the workplace. Ultimately, they use the role of emotions in the human experience and our fundamental need to belong to argue against a machine-based model for organizational life, citing it as a barrier to creating safe and productive communities.
