Togetherness is what give us humans our shot at survival. And it’s the same at Accor. Alone we can do very little, but together we can do amazing things. Relying on each other, working in teams and living in groups is the way humans make things happen – it’s hardwired in our brains. So feeling isolated or rejected can be terrifying – and directly linked to chronic loneliness and poor mental and physical health. That’s why we do everything we can to make every single person feel that they belong. It is only together that humans are extraordinary.
Loneliness and social isolation is one of the top predictors of poor physical and mental health, predicting up to a 32% increase in the odds of someone being diagnosed with heart disease, obesity, hypertension, weakened immune systems, anxiety, depression, dementia and death.
