Tackling Loneliness: How organisations can create belonging and inclusion

Loneliness continues to be a real problem for millions of people in the UK, making it more important than ever for senior leaders and organisations to prioritise employee wellbeing. In this report, Eton Bridge Partners explore how organisations can approach mental health and wellbeing policies.

Key takeaways include:
 

• 90 percent of people who experience loneliness don’t ask their manager or HR department for support.
• Organisations have an obligation to identify loneliness among their workers – signs include performance reduction and absenteeism.
• People leaders can support hybrid workers by fostering an authentic, open and connected work environment.
• Companies have a social responsibility to support the wider community with their mental wellbeing.
