A young newly appointed Human Resources manager in a company, when told about the companys plan to induct empathy-based training for the employees, questions the founder why to invest on people when they may not stick around, speaks much about the necessity for such training.
Her question was more about cutting cost incurred per employee, but the management was looking at a larger picture. If through these training humane interactions can become a norm than a chance happening, the overall retention of employees will cut the costs of hiring them.
The value of empathy as part of work culture across the world is spreading far and wide.
Many times a leader can show empathy in one situation but not consistently. An awareness of what empathetic behaviour can alter in conversations is worth knowing. In fact, every employee can benefit from life skills training which includes empathetic communication.
How can employees be taught Empathy as a life skill?
Tools of Empathy can be practised in all office settings. Management can take initiative in settings precedents to practice than preach. This ensures faster retention and greater scope of emulation.
Senior managers can adopt skill sets that are conducive to the implementation of empathy in the workplace.
1: Practising good listening skills ceates a feeling that they are being heard.
2: Empathy is about taking into consideration another’s point of view in a non-judgemental manner.
3: Giving time and attention to employees increases communication and productivity.
4: Mindfulness increases in the workplace as employees begin to be aware of each other. Strength and weaknesses are mutually balanced and supported in cooperation.
5: Helps in conflict resolutions and negotiations and trust-building and thereby improving teamwork and collaboration.
Enough evidence to show the difference empathy based trainings can bring to offices and how it creates a positive environment. It is time to adopt and build empathy driven work culture.
Today I am sharing a small part of an abstract painting I created earlier. It gives me a splash of colours whenever I want a bright pop of colors to jumpstart my day.
Art speaks volumes without words. Art is healing & therapeutic at the same time. Correct choice of colours make all the difference They can enhance moods In moments of melancholy In times of restlessness.. In times of stress they can soothe the frayed nerves.
Yet what works for one may not work for another…. As every person has a unique sense of colour.
Creating is the art of making art, work towards a purpose. Creating is also the art of allowing the flow as much as channeling the flow.
WordPress has been a great source of support for not only writing away our thoughts and seeing it pick traction. But also in bringing the world just a bit more closer together through these mere words. Such is the power of words.
My earlier travels have been interspersed with interesting personas that I had a chance meeting with and many have become wonderful friends for life.

If you have anything that you can share on Shanghai I would be glad to hear more.
