Work and the Future Podcast Episode 78: Are Hybrid Workers Lonelier than We Realize?

As we move to new models of work we have sometimes wondered whether remote workers are too isolated but are hybrid workers also isolated - and maybe even lonely? And if that is true, as some evidence suggests, what should organizations be doing to help workers with that isolation? On this episode Linda Nazareth is joined by Dr. Caroline Knight, Research Fellow at the Future of Work Institute at Curtin University in Australia, who has done research into the loneliness of hybrid workers. They talk about the issues around isolation, and why organizations should be cognizant of managing and supporting workers who are off-site but still part of the organization.
