Did you know that loneliness at work affects up to 60% of employees? Yet, it remains a largely overlooked issue with significant repercussions for individuals and organizations. Despite being surrounded by colleagues, many employees feel disconnected and isolated.

Loneliness is also higher among remote workers who lack face-to-face social interactions, and individuals in high-stress or competitive work environments where collaboration and support are lacking.
