Topics for Discussion

Addressing the problem of loneliness has traditionally been seen as the responsibility of the non-profit and public sectors.

But, as the role of business in society continues to evolve and the value of purpose-driven business becomes more evident, new questions arise: Do companies have a role to play in combatting loneliness? Why would business leaders be interested in fostering social connection?

This webinar will show that tackling loneliness not only boosts employee wellbeing, productivity, and retention, but also offers new strategic opportunities for innovation and growth.

Drawing on insights from the newly published Business vs. Loneliness report, the webinar will demonstrate how companies can use their unique capabilities and industry expertise to develop profitable, impact-oriented solutions to loneliness.

With input from leading experts and workshop-style breakout sessions, the 90-minute online Zoom webinar will unpack:

  • Why loneliness matters to business leaders — and what’s at stake

  • Key findings from our global loneliness study

  • Real-world case studies of companies turning insight into action

  • How the Loneliness Change Compass can guide effective interventions

  • First steps companies can take to begin making a difference


Who Should Attend

This webinar has been designed for business leaders across all sectors and functions. It will be of particular relevance to those working in strategy, innovation, finance, marketing, sustainability, and HR.

It will also be relevant to professionals from the public, non-profit, and academic sectors interested in the private sector’s role in tackling loneliness.
