You can create a culture of connection

We believe addressing loneliness and social isolation is everyone’s responsibility. That’s why we partner with industry leaders to design and deliver evidence-based practical training programs across community, workplace, education, health and aged care settings.

As well as strengthening your understanding of loneliness, our programs focus on how you can create inclusive environments that facilitate meaningful connections.

Creating Meaningful Social Connection

Workplace Training

1 in 3 Australian workers are lonely and it could be impacting your workplace.

Equipping employees and employers with the knowledge and skills to build meaningful social connections in the workplace can greatly improve the culture of your organisation, the wellbeing of all employees and save your business money in the long-term.

Ending Loneliness Together, in partnership with AIA, has translated evidence into a practical self-paced training program that helps employers and employees build and maintain meaningful relationships in a blended working environment, while recognising and responding to loneliness in the workplace.

What is Workplace Loneliness?

Workplace loneliness is an unpleasant feeling that occurs when employees are dissatisfied with their relationships with the people they work with and the employers they work for.

Workplace loneliness can affect any employee, regardless of age, gender identity, or seniority.

Loneliness is associated with poorer job performance and job satisfaction, lower organisational commitment and reduced creativity. Lonely employees report more workplace errors, take more sick leave and have a stronger intention to quit.
