Employers are increasingly recognizing that loneliness is a significant challenge that impacts business performance, employee engagement, and productivity. While often attributed to remote work, the issue predates the pandemic, with quality social connections being the key factor.

Addressing loneliness is crucial as it can lead to disengaged employees, higher stress levels, and burnout, making it imperative for businesses to take proactive measures to promote workplace relationships and support.
