Recommendation

Feeling lonely at work? Most people believe that work isn’t the place for feelings; just show up and get the job done. If you’re in management, your job is to keep people focused on the task at hand. Their personal stuff isn’t your business, right? Wrong. According to a TotalJobs survey, 25% of people who felt lonely at work ended up quitting their jobs. This summary shares tips from Mind, a mental health charity that partnered with TotalJobs to discuss remedies for workplace loneliness. getAbstract recommends these tips to leaders in companies that value healthy employees.

Take-Aways

  • A recent survey shows that three of five people feel lonely at work. One of four people who feel lonely at work end up quitting their jobs.
  • For every £1.00 [$1.31] invested in employee well-being, there’s a return to business of £1.50 to £9.00.
  • To help a lonely co-worker, encourage open communication about mental health and encourage the co-worker seek support from management.
