ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Simone Heng puts a number on workplace loneliness: $154 billion USD in attrition, tied to something as simple as never finding a work best buddy. She explains why remote and hybrid setups make connection harder, walks through a study on how a trusted person next to you can change how steep a challenge literally looks, and gives leaders one simple habit for catching disconnection in someone's first month, before it becomes a resignation. If you lead people, or you've felt weirdly alone in a full room at work, start here.
