Challenges of the Remote-Office Era

In today’s remote-work landscape, maintaining a healthy, balanced life has become increasingly challenging. Studies suggest that while loneliness affects about one-third of people in industrialized countries, loneliness impacts a disproportionate number of expatriates (57%), full-time remote workers (65%), and senior executives (72%).

This has a financial impact, with organizations losing an estimated $4,200 per employee each year due to decreased productivity and absenteeism.

The Benefits Canada 2024 Health Survey, discovered that 38% of respondents experience feelings of loneliness, isolation, or social disconnection, whether from their community, society, or workplace. 21% of Canadians want to enhance their social connections for health benefits, rising to 37% for newcomers to Canada (those here less than five years).

Loneliness doesn’t just affect productivity. The longest-running study on happiness from Harvard shows that the quality of our relationships at age 50 can predict our health at age 80. As Robert Waldinger, Director of the 80-year Harvard Study of Adult Development, explains, “The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80.”

Strong, meaningful connections aren’t just a "nice-to-have", they are essential to our long-term health and happiness.

Virtual and in-person offerings available.

What is Social Wealth?

Social Wealth is experienced through the positive activation of our social network, online or offline, personal or professional. It’s a feeling of deep trust, connection, support and belonging, with the individuals and groups in our life.

The foundational pillars of Social Wealth are: personal expression, relational interest and solidarity.

It’s not just the number of relationships we have; depth and reciprocity matters.

Our innovative workshops and talks, merge cutting-edge research and the social experiences of 1,200 remote and hybrid leaders, from qualitative and quantitative research, resulting in evidence-based tools and strategies designed to help you build and sustain your Social Wealth, at work and beyond.
