Loneliness in the workplace is more prevalent than ever before, affecting employees of all ages, job levels, and work locations. According to Gallup's 2024 State of the Global Workplace report, one in five employees globally reports feeling lonely “frequently” or “often”, with significant variations across different work environments. Loneliness at work isn’t just a fleeting feeling—it can have serious consequences on both employee well-being and organizational success. Employees who feel lonely may experience poor mental health, decreased productivity, and even higher turnover rates.
