Mental health days can’t fix impossible workloads, and team-building events can’t repair psychological safety gaps created by managers. Before designing connection programs, HR leaders need to ask diagnostic questions at three levels (structural, team, and individual) and look for evidence that confirms where disconnection originates. Mismatched interventions waste resources because they target the wrong level. A Three-Level Diagnostic Framework We use a three-level diagnostic approach informed by workplace loneliness research, our global monitoring framework for social connection developed across eight countries, […] - [The Root Cause Questions Every CHRO Should Ask in 2026 to Rebuild Connection and Culture](https://absl.io/the-root-cause-questions-every-chro-should-ask-in-2026-to-rebuild-connection-and-culture/): Key points Most organizations invest in connection initiatives with good intent. They roll out empathy training, wellness programs, team rituals, or mentoring schemes. Sometimes these efforts move engagement metrics. Sometimes they do not. Often, results vary widely across teams operating under similar organizational conditions. These outcomes are not always signs of poor execution or lack of commitment. More often, they reflect a deeper issue: the intervention was aimed at the wrong problem. Effective employee strategy starts with diagnosing whether disconnection stems from structural constraints, team dynamics, or individual factors. That diagnosis determines where interventions will have the highest leverage. Without […] - [Templeton World Charity Foundation Introductory Video](https://absl.io/templeton-world-charity-foundation-introductory-video/): Our Multi-Country Investigation into Social Connection, Social Isolation, and Loneliness aims to give voice to people from the Global South. - [Templeton World Charity Foundation Video 1: What is Loneliness?](https://absl.io/templeton-world-charity-foundation-video-1-what-is-loneliness/): What is loneliness? Through our TWCF video series, we want to explore universal experiences of loneliness and social isolation from the cultural lens of people not widely represented in research. Today, we share a powerful perspective from Zimbabwe that reminds us: loneliness is universal, yet deeply personal. - [Templeton World Charity Foundation Video 2: What is Disconnection?](https://absl.io/templeton-world-charity-foundation-video-2-what-is-disconnection/): What does disconnection feel like? Loneliness isn't just about being alone— it's about feeling alone even when surrounded by others. In this powerful testimony by a participant from Zimbabwe, we explore the complex emotional landscape of disconnection through a personal lens. - [Templeton World Charity Foundation Video 3: How Does Loneliness Affect You?](https://absl.io/templeton-world-charity-foundation-video-3-how-does-loneliness-affect-you/): Loneliness can drain your energy, your desire to do things, and even your relationships with others. It can make connection more difficult to achieve, even if you badly want to be understood by others. - [Templeton World Charity Foundation Video 4 : Loneliness with Family](https://absl.io/templeton-world-charity-foundation-video-4-loneliness-with-family/): As we go through life, we often want to share our experiences with others— both the good and the bad. Our participant from Zimbabwe talks about how loneliness keeps him from feeling connected to his family - [Templeton World Charity Foundation Video 5: Coping with loneliness](https://absl.io/templeton-world-charity-foundation-video-5-coping-with-loneliness/): The solution to loneliness seems so clear: reconnect with others. But how can we do that when it feels so debilitating? Isolation keeps us stuck in a loop, unsure of where to begin and how to ask for help. - [Templeton World Charity Foundation Video 6: Finale](https://absl.io/templeton-world-charity-foundation-video-6-finale/): For the final entry in our TWCF video series, we listen to Mr. Mohammed ZOUIRI, our research contractor from Morocco. Through this project and the numerous interviews they conducted, Mohammed and the Moroccan research team discovered that the act of sharing one’s experiences is therapeutic in itself. - [A Multi-Country Investigation into the Conceptualization and Measurement of Relationship Quality](https://absl.io/a-multi-country-investigation-into-the-conceptualization-and-measurement-of-relationship-quality/): Relationship quality is a foundational construct, but there is no consensus on its definition, conceptualization and measurement. Here we explore the conceptualization of relationship quality by conducting in-depth interviews with lay individuals in five countries (US, Philippines, Turkey, France and Brazil) and relationship therapists worldwide. The resulting qualitative data will inform the multilab-multicountry development of a scale, followed by a 3-month longitudinal validation study, culminating in the creation of a comprehensive scale manual for effective administration and interpretation. - [Belonging Project](https://absl.io/belonging-project/): The Belonging Project, in partnership with Neighbourly Lab, focuses on analyzing data from the 2021 Survey of Londoners to uncover the factors influencing residents’ sense of belonging in London. Through a detailed examination of demographic, social, and environmental variables, this project aims to identify the key predictors of belonging and community engagement across different groups. The insights drawn from this analysis, combined with qualitative research from Neighbourly Lab, will help inform policies and initiatives to foster stronger community ties and improve the well-being of Londoners. - [Multi-Country Investigation into the Conceptualization and Experience of Social Connection, Social Isolation, and Loneliness](https://absl.io/multi-country-investigation-into-the-conceptualization-and-experience-of-social-connection-social-isolation-and-loneliness/): Acknowledging the significant impact of social connection on health, mortality, and life satisfaction, we engage in a rigorous four-phased approach to redefine social connection through in-depth interviews, multi-country item generation, nomological network validation through surveys in 20 countries, and the creation of a comprehensive scale manual with translations.

Yet 1 in 5 employees globally report feeling lonely at work often (Gallup, 2024). Something isn’t connecting. Workplace loneliness–“the psychological pain of perceived relational deficiencies in the workplace” (Wright and Silard, 2021, p.1064) — is not just a personal struggle. It’s an organizational issue that shapes how people show up, how they collaborate and whether talents stay or leave. People can feel lonely at work even when surrounded by others if they lack the quality of connection they need. For this article, we spoke with […] - [From time trends to structural barriers: Six teams reexamine social isolation in the United States](https://absl.io/from-time-trends-to-structural-barriers-six-teams-reexamine-social-isolation-in-the-united-states-2/): Each team approached the task differently: some wrote their code from scratch, others modified code that Nick Brown shared, and all documented ambiguities and discrepancies they encountered along the way.

The tools we use to measure constructs like loneliness are complex, and it turns out that much of what we think we know may be built on shaky foundations. In reality, the numbers we rely on might not fully capture what we hope they do. - [Misnomers of modern malaise: Stop calling loneliness an epidemic](https://absl.io/misnomers-of-modern-malaise-stop-calling-loneliness-an-epidemic/): he words we use to describe social issues shape both public perception and the strategies we develop to address them. This is especially true in discussions about chronic loneliness—a serious and widespread condition, but not one accurately termed an “epidemic.” - [Connecting the dots: Advancing the science of social isolation and loneliness](https://absl.io/connecting-the-dots-advancing-the-science-of-social-isolation-and-loneliness/): Welcome to Connecting the Dots: Advancing the Science of Social Isolation and Loneliness, a blog series where we explore the complexities of social isolation and loneliness (SIL). - [Belonging in London: Insights from Camden and Westminster](https://absl.io/belonging-in-london-insights-from-camden-and-westminster/): Belonging is not just a feeling—it is a fundamental human need.

Because human behavior is so varied across contexts and settings, and because measurement is quite complex, our journey of discovery is paved with challenges. Like Richard Feynman once said, “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” For a science to be trustworthy and transparent, we must put in safeguards not to fool ourselves.

Further, many measures are constructed poorly, or in an ad-hoc manner, often developed in contexts other than the one in which the research is currently conducted in. This means for you as an organization, the data you are getting from quantitative scales alone may produce misleading insights.
