Connection Over Configuration: Tackling Workplace Loneliness and Isolation Through Leadership and Choice
In this data briefing, we examine the differences in reported levels of workplace loneliness and isolation among fully remote, hybrid, and fully in-person workers.
Do organizational practices that provide employees with more “voice and choice” help to enhance their social connectedness and mental health? Are hybrid workers who have the autonomy to choose their in-office days less lonely than those who are told when to be in the office? Does leadership openness and accessibility play a role in fostering socially connected work environments? Do new employees feel less isolated if they are satisfied with their onboarding experience? And does access to in-person and virtual social events help to reduce feelings of loneliness by remote workers?
Read the data briefing for the full analysis.
