This booklet, Meaningful Communication, To Grow Business Effective and Create a Thriving Culture, with lead authors Minter Dial (speaker and author) and Lena Rantsevich (founder of Reputy.io), was written using the outputs of a collaborative session held in London, UK, in February 2024, featuring 38 contributors from a wide array of backgrounds. They included business owners, scientists, senior business executives, psychologists, an anthropologist, business coaches, Web3 and Technology experts, start-up founders and artists. We looked at assessing Meaningful Communication (MC) in the workplace from a diversity of viewpoints and existing theories to explore how we can bring more MC into the business environment. This work was sponsored by dunnhumby, in partnership with Global Tech Advocates-Future of Work.

The purpose of this booklet is to look at the relevance of Meaningful Communication (MC) in the workplace, with the pragmatic goal of growing business effectiveness and creating a thriving culture. With a complex business outlook, rising mental health conditions and difficulties in recruiting, retaining and motivating talent, the team that contributed to the writing of this white paper saw MC as a key quality for business leaders. By engaging in more MC, not only do teams tackle some of the more important topics for the long-term health of the business, but also foster more meaningful relationships.
