Connection and Disconnection in Remote Teams.: Tackling Loneliness Together at Work

Bys: Orti, Pilar and Caggiati, Bree

Connection and Disconnection in Remote Teams examines how loneliness, disconnection, and wellbeing intersect in today's flexible workplace. Combining narrative storytelling with insights from psychologists, researchers, and remote-work leaders, Bree Caggiati and Pilar Orti trace how connection shapes collaboration, performance, and mental health in distributed organisations.

Developed from the 21st Century Work Life podcast's season on loneliness in remote teams, the book translates evidence-based ideas into practical strategies for individuals, managers, and organisations. It addresses systemic issues-information silos, leadership trust, and culture-building-while offering actionable guidance for sustaining human connection in remote and hybrid contexts.

Essential reading for students and instructors in organisational psychology, HR management, occupational health, and leadership, this book bridges academic theory and real-world application, providing a human lens on the future of work.
