So important that leaders address these items. No one should feel lonely in the workplace, ever!
Loneliness at work has become an epidemic, leading to workplace stress, people being absent & leaving their jobs. New research has highlighted multiple myths that lead to many leaders making the workplace loneliness situation worse. Myths: 1) Loneliness can be solved by coming back to the office 2) Teams will solve loneliness 3) Lonely people are needier socially than others at work 4) Loneliness is a personal problem, not an organisational problem. Practical actions that leaders can take to reduce work loneliness include measuring loneliness, designing slack in workflows, creating a culture of connection, building socialising into the rhythm of work & maximising each work mode (remote or f2f) for connection. hbr.org/2024/11/were-still-l….

To all my BSE colleagues. Please put in a vote for Emily, who has worked wonders for cardiology and echocardiography in the SW region. She could make such a positive impact as a BSE trustee 🙏
Consider voting for me in Trustee elections. Described by an old colleague as the Channel 4 alternative Christmas message equivalent, I often manage problems with novel, yet effective approaches.1/2
