Description: 
Companies of all shapes and sizes can have employees who feel isolated, needing more support from employers. Workplaces, no matter the size or industry, have a key role to play in promoting and supporting the well-being of its employees. But what happens when the workplace is not clearly defined within four office walls or filled with a team? What happens when employees are working on their own in isolation? The trucking industry, where the boundaries of a typical workplace don’t apply, is one of many sectors that faces such challenges. Typical conditions for transport drivers put them at greater risk of and increased exposure to psychological harm without the proper supports to prevent or address it. An employee doesn’t have to be trekking across the continent alone to feel isolated. From employees working at home to those stationed in satellite offices, they might need extra support from employers who can mitigate the risks of working in isolation.
