Spotlight 2024 - Loneliness at Work

Welcome to our Spotlight 2024 virtual forum series, designed to shine a light on some of the key topics impacting on the workplace today and in the future. Building on our successful series in 2022 we are relaunching this popular series to provide a thought-provoking space for our Art of Work community to come together and share their thoughts, feelings and insights together. Across this year we are hosting a series of bi-monthly live podcasts and have some fascinating guests lined up to explore everything from being human in the workplace, the impact of AI on our work and how do we act in times of disruption.  

In this third episode of our Spotlight 2024 series, we explore the pressing and relevant topic of ‘loneliness in the workplace’ and explore the often unseen and unspoken consequences of experiencing loneliness in the workplace. Referencing findings from the BBC’s recent ‘Loneliness Project’ and the ‘Loneliness at Work’ report, commissioned by the British Red Cross, we examine some of the key factors that contribute to feelings of loneliness at work and the ways in which we can combat this and build supportive communities.
