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.
