In the latest episode of The Unmistakable Creative Podcast titled 'How Workplace Loneliness Impacts Performance', we sit down with Steven Van Cohen, public speaker, brand consultant, and co-author of 'Connectable'. As the world grappled with the sudden shift to remote work due to Covid-19, feelings of isolation and loneliness among employees surged, leading to a significant mental health challenge that affects both individuals and organizations.

Drawing from his book 'Connectable', Steven sheds light on the real and growing issue of workplace loneliness. He emphasizes that it's not just about the emotional toll but also the tangible impact on performance, engagement, and productivity. With over a decade of experience in addressing worker loneliness, Steven, alongside co-author Ryan Jenkins, has developed a methodology that pinpoints the causes of today's loneliness and offers solutions.

In this episode, listeners will gain insights into the role inclusion plays in combating loneliness, the importance of emotional intelligence in showing up for colleagues, and strategies to create environments of belonging, whether in-person or remote. Steven also introduces the four-step Less Loneliness Framework, a comprehensive approach to fostering connected, driven, and high-performing teams.
