Bridging the Divide: A Panel Discussion on Library Workers Loneliness (Libraries Learn) Online
Join us for our 5th and final Mental Health & Wellness panel. The consequences of loneliness among library workers extend beyond individual well-being to organizational effectiveness. Research has shown that lonely employees are less engaged, less productive, and more likely to leave their jobs. In the context of libraries, where staffing shortages and budget constraints are already significant challenges, addressing loneliness is not just a matter of employee satisfaction but also of organizational sustainability. Recent studies have shed light on the alarming prevalence of loneliness in the workplace, affecting up to 70% of employees globally. Within library settings, this issue poses unique challenges, as staff often grapple with a sense of isolation both professionally and personally.
