Is workplace loneliness just about feeling isolated from colleagues, or is there more to it?👨⚕️👷♀️
Our new paper @sppejournal finds workplace loneliness goes beyond work relationships + can include disconnection from one’s organisation + society at large🧵

Workplace loneliness isn’t just interpersonal, it’s shaped by organisational culture and societal context
To reduce loneliness + its impact on workers health, we need to go beyond encouraging office social events + tackle the institutional + societal drivers of loneliness 🏨🌏🧑🤝🧑
