A loneliness-at-work phenomenon coincides with a growing reliance on artificial intelligence and digital tools to manage traditionally collaborative tasks. This indicates that as technology enables greater efficiency and "cognitive outsourcing," it also diminishes opportunities for genuine interpersonal interaction.

Employees across generational lines report frequent use of AI for problem-solving instead of consulting colleagues, with Millennials at the forefront of adopting these tools.

However, even as the adoption of AI accelerates, many workers lament the loss of creative collaboration and culture, which they see as vital to organizational success. Gen Z employees are particularly affected, reporting the greatest levels of workplace isolation and disconnectedness.

So, the question for our readers is: Are Your Employees Lonely On The Job? You Make The Call

Here is the opinion of one of the McCalmon editorial staff:

Jack McCalmon, Esq.

We work remotely, so it is difficult to determine if employees are lonely or not, but it makes sense that working remotely can increase loneliness. For that reason, we recommend employees get out of the house and interact with others as much as possible during breaks or simply work from a public spot.
