Workplace Empathy Part Two

In this episode we explore what it means to show empathy and how a few simple actions can help create stronger connections and build a culture of honesty and openness. These are important factors for nurturing a more productive and healthier workplace as we navigate the challenges of an uncertain time. Episode Highlights - 83% of employees would choose a workplace with a healthy culture over higher salary - We need to reframe empathy as the action of listening - We can make assumptions about team dynamics, but we don’t know until we ask the question and listen. - The biggest barrier to empathy in the workplace is being too busy. We are not empathetic when we are in a hurry. - Accountability is necessary to successfully implement workplace empathy.
