In this episode, which is part of our Thriving at Work series, Richard is joined by two experts in ostracism at work, to discuss what it is, how it impacts employees and what we can do about it.
Dr. Ian Tyndall and Dr. Daniel Waldeck discuss their research and why they got involved in this specific topic. Unlike the loneliness experience we discussed back in Ep 135 with Dr. Sarah Wright, where people aren't feeling enough connection with others, ostracism centres of feelings and beliefs about being shut out from a team, group or community and involves uncertainty about the reason. Like loneliness, it can have a signitive negative impact on our wellbeing and our experience of work.
Richard, Ian and Dan look at the ostracism phenomenon through the lens of ACT and psychological flexibility, exploring some of the ways building psychological fleixbility can help employees overcome the experience.
Do get in touch with your questions and comment. And big thanks to Ian and Dan for their time.
