If you lead a company and notice a lack of engagement or productivity in workers, this one is for you.

One in every four adults reported feeling lonely in the world, yet very few are talking about it. In and out of the workplace, it is something greatly affecting businesses.

In this eye-opening episode, Chief Scientist at the Academy to Innovate HR Dr. Dieter Veldsman joins Carol to give insight and tips for leaders.

They dive deep into why simply returning to the office isn't the solution, debunk common myths about workplace loneliness, and discuss practical strategies for both leaders and employees to build meaningful connections in today's evolving workplace environment.

Don't miss this important conversation about one of the most pressing yet overlooked challenges facing modern organizations.
