A 2022 study showed that 69% of employees feel unsatisfied with connection opportunities at work, a concerning statistic indicating significant workplace loneliness.
Dr. Vivek Murthy emphasized the widespread issue of loneliness, stating that even in workplaces, many employees only have consistent contact with colleagues, highlighting loneliness as a critical issue.
Younger employees under 35 are more lonely due to increased reliance on technology for connection, lacking traditional community engagement, leading to higher burnout rates.
Despite the loneliness reported, Gallup's report notes a kernel of hope, as increased workplace engagement correlates negatively with feelings of loneliness and burnout.
