BUSINESS LEADERS ARE STRUGGLING WITH WORKPLACE EMPATHY

Tools and Practices May 27, 2021

68% of CEOs admit they fear they will be less respected if they show empathy in the workplace, according to Forbes last article : https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryanrobinson/2021/05/17/new-research-shows-why-business-leaders-struggle-with-workplace-empathy/?sh=65062b4b84ad

Conversely, more employees register empathy in their workplace now, compared to before the #pandemic.

This may mean that while many leaders remain attached to old behaviors, the #transformation forced by COVID19 on businesses and organizations in general brought positive change. Flexible working arrangements have become the rule rather than the exception, and management has had to pay greater attention to people's well-being.
