Loneliness can have an overwhelming impact on how well we perform in our roles at work. Feelings of hopelessness and low self-respect can lead to collapse in efficiency and mental block, augmented by plummeting levels of contact as businesses rely more and more on faceless communications such as emails and messages.
Although sticking to the advice is essential in the current crisis, staying at home with limited human contact can have a significant impact on our mental well-being – and in particular, feelings of loneliness.
US social neuroscientist John Cacioppo describes humans as “obligatorily gregarious” and suggests that if we were designing a human zoo, a note should be added “do not house in isolation”.
Of today’s employees, Generation Z and Millennials are the most impacted – nearly 50% report feeling isolated.
YOU’RE NOT DESERTED
Being lonely at work, is not an individuals issue to deal with themselves; it most certainly lies with the organisation to deal with this growing problem especially as remote working becomes more normal and common for the majority of many businesses.
KEEP IN TOUCH…It’s Good to Talk
Organisational culture is crucial to preventing workplace loneliness. Face-to-face interaction is still one of the best ways to build a sense of connection among employees.
Companies that urge a policy of daily calls with employees, as well as social gatherings whether virtual or in-person, will build strong connections between teams and a sense of camaraderie among the workforce.
