The more friends people make in the workplace the more connected they'll feel to the job. 

Some ideas -  

• Create "swim-buddies" - in Navy SEAL training every prospective SEAL is assigned a swim buddy. It's a way of creating a social connection right from the start. 
• Joint tasks - ask 2 people you're trying to "fix up" to collaborate on a task.
• Mentors - ask an experienced person to mentor a new hire.
