The Empathetic Workplace
Katherine Manning

September 23, 2021
8:00 am - 9:00 am

As we face the pandemic, a racial reckoning, and political and economic turmoil, rates of stress, anxiety, and depression are skyrocketing. At the same time, we are more distant than ever, and our communication skills are dwindling. These challenges affect us at work; they show up in higher absenteeism, missed deadlines, brain fog, and short tempers. This crisis is also an opportunity, though. When we support each other effectively through challenging times, we build trust and psychological safety. Trust is the holy grail when it comes to workplace culture, leading to 74% less stress, 106% more energy at work, 50% higher productivity, 13% fewer sick days, 76% more engagement, and 40% less burnout. A Google study on teams found that the best indicator of a healthy and productive team was psychological safety, and that the fastest way to build psychological safety was to support each other through periods of stress.

Katharine Manning, author of The Empathetic Workplace and an attorney with more than 25 years’ experience on issues of trauma and victimization, will teach you how to lead with empathy in challenging times, to build a stronger workplace, more productive teams, and a more engaged and healthier workforce.
