Watch a short recap

Key takeaways from Hertz

• 40 per cent of office workers globally feel lonely. Lonely workers are less productive, less motivated, more likely to quit a company than workers who don't feel lonely. So loneliness is a drain on the bottom line.
• We're talking a lot nowadays about the environmental aspect of ESG, especially in the wake of COP. Rightly so, but I believe that the social aspect of ESG is going to be increasingly in the spotlight over the coming months and years.
• Think about social loneliness not only as important in the battle for talent, not only important to retain employees, not only important to enhance productivity and motivation and engagement, but also increasingly a risk factor for companies who don't do something to address it in-house.
• I believe that there's a real market opportunity here, not only in the tech space, but also in physical co-working, co-living spaces, big opportunities, shared experiences, things like that.
