Investing in employee connection isn't a feel-good initiative — it's a business strategy with measurable ROI.
42% of lonely workers come to work mentally disengaged, against 21% of workers who are not lonely (The Cigna Group, Vitality Pulse, 2024)
Compared with 29.3% of workers who are not lonely (Bowers et al., Journal of Organizational Effectiveness, 2022)
Lonely workers are three times as likely to say they are less productive than their peers (Cigna, Loneliness and Its Impact on the American Workplace, 2020)
Estimated yearly cost to U.S. employers of absenteeism linked to loneliness (U.S. Surgeon General Advisory, 2023)
Illustrative, not a Kenektic outcome: Kenektic has no retention data yet. Substitute your own turnover and replacement-cost figures.
Illustrative arithmetic: 1,000 employees × 20% turnover × 10–20% fewer departures × $15K–$50K per replacement. Actual savings vary by industry, role mix, and turnover baseline, and only retention is modelled here.
