Q - Why is loneliness an emotion that somebody at work should be even worried about? - Jeff Frick
A - Having a strong interconnected workforce is really good for the bottom line and for each individual employee. - Connie Noonan Hadley
How do you love your job and how do you avoid burnout? Have a really strong connection and social support system at work with your colleagues. - Connie Noonan Hadley
The problem is, there are many, many people that don't feel that way. They were this hidden, invisible population of sufferers. And that was a real problem for me. I wanted to help bring this into the light. Normalize the fact that it's happening because it's still really stigmatized and do something about it. - Connie Noonan Hadley
Loneliness at work.
Probably not the first item on most managers' priority list.
Perhaps it needs to move up the rankings.
When people feel connected and supported at work, they do better work.
Simple concept. A bit more difficult in practice, but more an issue of prioritization than degree of difficulty.
Connie shares the path.
Great conversation, 30+ years removed from our overlap at Wharton.
She was working on team dynamics and performance even then, and my incoming team of 6, representing 3 countries, we the lucky recipients of her study.
