Swedish workers trial 'friendship hour' to combat loneliness

Swedish pharmacy chain trials 'friendship hour' to address loneliness. Staff, like Yasmine Lindberg, are granted paid time to connect with friends amidst Sweden's focus on combating loneliness. The initiative aligns with Sweden's government push for businesses to contribute to reducing loneliness, with results showing increased life satisfaction among participants. This innovative approach may lead to a potential rollout across the country, impacting public health and employee well-being positively.
