What are your workplace's challenges?

Employees are suffering. The accumulation of workplace demands, the erosion of boundaries between work and home, and increasing uncertainties about their futures, leave employees physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted.

Employee suffering is caused by:

Burn out
Toxic culture
Stress
Anxiety
Depression
Not being recognized
Drain from unresolved conflict
Feeling unappreciated

work that two people used to do!"

"My boss doesn't

understand."

"Why bother?
What difference do I make?"

Work doesn't have to hurt! See the business benefits of compassion:

A Johns Hopkins study found that giving just 40 seconds of compassion can lower a person's anxiety in a measurable way.

(Harvard Business Review, 2023)

Creating a compassionate culture has been linked with lower employee exhaustion and employee absenteeism.

Compassion has been found to increase positive feelings at work and reduce negative ones. These positive emotions can have significant impact on attitude, behaviors and performance. (Lilius, et al, 2008)

Research confirms that both compassion and rudeness are

contagious. Your behavior — and your compassion (or lack thereof) — has a direct impact on others. (Harvard Business Review, 2023)

Employees who work for compassionate managers are 25% more engaged, 20% more committed, and 11% less likely to burnout. (Hougaard and Carter, 2022)

Leaders who rated themselves as more compassionate said they had 63% lower burnout, 66% lower stress, and 200% lower intent to quit. (Hougaard and Carter, 2022)
