Employees are getting lonely working from home, but personal coaching benefits can give them what they crave — a listening ear.

Three out of five American workers reported feeling lonely during the pandemic, according to a Cigna study. The study found that loneliness has a negative impact on work performance; 12% of lonely workers say they believe the quality of their work isn’t up to par. These workers also reported feeling “less engaged, less productive” and they constantly think about quitting their jobs.
