Dr Richard MacKinnon - Loneliness at Work

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 27 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 

P-Soupers - it's another special one this week - over the Summer, me and producer Emma experimented with a couple of live recordings, and our second courageous participant was Dr Richard MacKinnon - Founder and Managing Director of Work Life Psych. and in this episode we were particularly interested in finding out more about his research into loneliness at work and the steps we can take as individuals and organisations to connect and thrive in the workplace.

People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun. We're all about sharing the ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond.

There is a transcript for each episode. There is a caveat - this transcript is largely generated by Artificial Intelligence, I have corrected many errors but I won't have captured them all! You can also find the shownotes by clicking on notes then keep scrolling for all the useful links.
