Abstract

Workplace loneliness is growing as a major factor affecting workplace wellbeing. Drilling down into the causes of workplace loneliness this chapter comes across workplace isolation, workplace ostracism and workplace alienation as the three main perpetrators. While workplace isolation occurs due to the inherent type of work, it could also occur due to position or role held at work. Remote and hybrid work models further contribute to workplace isolation also perpetrating workplace alienation and workplace ostracism – two added dimensions of workplace loneliness. While workplace ostracism is an outcome of toxic work environment, organization culture and team dynamics, workplace alienation results from an individual's response to work. Resilience develops the potential to combat alienation facilitating the ability to regroup one's strengths and balance the flipside of remote and hybrid work models thereby alleviating workplace isolation. The facilitating and enabling role played by leaders mitigate workplace loneliness while enhancing, sustaining and managing workplace wellbeing.
