Lightning Talk Session:
Not-So Social at Work
Jane O’Reilly, PhD
Assistant Professor, Telfer School of Management – University of Ottawa

Summary:
What happens when an employee feels excluded from the social circle at work? While it is perhaps easy to recognize that being harassed or belittled is a psychologically painful experience, we often assume that ‘simply’ being left out is, at least in a comparative sense, innocuous. In some cases, the negative impact of social exclusion is even worse than the outcomes associated with harassment. In this talk, I will discuss a growing body of research including the nature, incidence, and impact of social exclusion, as well as management strategies for limiting its existence.
