Challenges of the Remote-Office Era
In today’s remote-work landscape, maintaining a healthy, balanced life has become increasingly challenging.
Studies suggest that while loneliness affects about one-third of people in industrialized countries, loneliness impacts a disproportionate number of expatriates (57%), full-time remote workers (65%), and senior executives (72%).
This has a financial impact, with organizations losing an estimated $4,200 per employee each year due to decreased productivity and absenteeism.
The Benefits Canada 2024 Health Survey, discovered that 38% of respondents experience feelings of loneliness, isolation, or social disconnection, whether from their community, society, or workplace. 21% of Canadians want to enhance their social connections for health benefits, rising to 37% for newcomers to Canada (those here less than five years).
Loneliness doesn’t just affect productivity.
The longest-running study on happiness from Harvard shows that the quality of our relationships at age 50 can predict our health at age 80.
As Robert Waldinger, Director of the 80-year Harvard Study of Adult Development, explains, “The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80.” Strong, meaningful connections aren’t just a "nice-to-have", they are essential to our long-term health and happiness.

What is Social Wealth?
Social Wealth is a feeling of abundance in our social relationships, when we are deeply trusted, connected, and supported, with regular satisfying interactions, where there is a reciprocal value exchange.
The foundational pillars of Social Wealth are: personal expression, relational interest and solidarity.
It’s not just the number of relationships we have, but the depth of relationships, and how they enrich our lives. Research shows that strong social bonds improve our wellbeing, our happiness, and even our ability to handle stress.
