Do your people know you're there for them when it matters most?
Training and Consultation on Empathy at Work Learn MoreAbout UsThe way we show up for our employees, co-workers, and clients in hard times has a lasting impact our organization's success. It's never been more important. Organizations that are human-centered and trauma-informed will surge forward in this new era.
Empathy Matters.
A Google study found that the key to healthy, productive teams is psychological safety, and the fastest way to build psychological safety is by supporting each other through challenging times. In the past two years, we’ve seen challenges like never before. Rates of stress, depression, and anxiety are skyrocketing; meanwhile, our communication skills are dwindling. According to a 2020 report, 80% of employees would be willing to leave their job if they found a more empathetic employer; 57% would take a pay cut to do so.
Empathy is essential for leadership at any level and organizations that make it central to their cultures will thrive through today’s challenges and those still to come.
