A psychologist explains why we can no longer ignore workplace loneliness
Briefly

A recent Gallup survey revealed that as many as 20% of U.S. adults report feeling lonely daily, marking the highest rate of reported loneliness in two years.
The U.S. Surgeon General estimates that 52 million adults in the U.S. feel disconnected and deprived of meaningful links and interpersonal interactions.
Workplace loneliness impairs employees' and managers' creativity and decreases their tendency to engage in prosocial behavior and to display good camaraderie at work.
Workplace loneliness increases the probability of experiencing burnout, and in turn the risk of turnover, absenteeism, and wider well-being deficits.
