À propos de ce contenu audio
In this episode of Primal HR, Terry Smith and Leslie Lulham tackle one of the most widespread and least openly discussed challenges in today’s workplace: loneliness and mental health.
Loneliness affects every generation in different ways and has a direct impact on productivity, engagement, and overall well-being. Terry and Leslie explore why this issue accelerated during the pandemic, how remote and hybrid work can increase isolation, and what leaders and HR teams can do to intentionally build connection and community.
They also break down what Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are, how loneliness shows up physically and emotionally, and why supporting mental health at work is not just compassionate, it’s a business imperative.
A candid, human conversation about caring for the whole person at work.
Key topics:
- Loneliness as a workplace epidemic
- Mental health across generations
- Remote work and isolation
- What EAPs are and how they help
- Building community and belonging
- Why mental health drives productivity
