Are you finding remote work lonely?

For some people, remote work can become lonely. It’s easy to feel isolated when you’re working from home.  You’re physically away from your colleagues and may not have the same support and level of social interactions as if you were sitting next to them in the office.

Here are 5 top tips to help combat loneliness when you’re working from home:

• Check in via email or chat with your colleagues each work day
• Arrange a regular group call or meeting with your team to chat about interests other than work
• Ask your colleagues if they’d like to meet up occasionally for in-person collaborations
• Many companies offer groups or committees that employees can join, for example, wellness groups or volunteering groups.
• Reach out to other remote employees and form a network. Connecting with others who share a similar work-style can provide support as well as tips for managing remote work loneliness
