Millions of workers are leaving work. Either by quitting or leaving the office to work remotely.
These various departures from the normal are leaving more and more people feeling disconnected and lonely. Seventy-two percent of global workers say they experience loneliness at least monthly, according to the research of over 2,000 respondents in my book, Connectable: How Leaders Can Move Teams From Isolated to All In.
It’s likely that loneliness will continue to rise as people continue to retreat from the very place that offers them the best chance at lessening loneliness…the workplace. And if leaders aren’t aware of the issue and then not equipped with strategies to connect their teams, the workforce will continue to drift apart growing bitter, ill and unfulfilled.
The new leadership disciple required in the age of isolation is to lessen worker loneliness.
