What participants say

Amazing content and really got me thinking about the different ways social isolation and loneliness shows up. Very interested to learn more about some of the models and research used in this presentation and apply it my practice.

I thought the format was clear and easy to follow. A key aha moment for me was when strategies to addressing loneliness and social isolation were framed as either quality or access. This made a lot of sense and was a helpful way to consider our programs objectives.

Loved the references to research, was evidenced based, clear messaging that flowed well and was easy to understand. This has provided resources which are foundational to the work.

Brought together research and lived experience in a framework that is accessible and practical.

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.
