The Art of Empathy

Building Emotional Intelligence in Your Leaders

The cost of replacing an individual employee ranges from one-half to two times the employee’s annual salary. That means, a 100-person organization that provides an average salary of $50,000 will have turnover and replacement costs of approximately $800,000 to $2.6 million per year.

The worst part? 52% of people who leave say their manager or organization could have done something to prevent them from leaving their job. In fact, they said that in the three months before leaving, nobody asked them how they felt about their job, or about their future. What is evident is a lack of empathy in their leaders. It doesn’t have to be this way.

In this powerful virtual or live program, your managers and leaders will learn:

• What the single greatest cause of a lack of empathy is (something they have control over)
• How to grow their skills of Emotional Intelligence so they can tune into the challenges their people are facing before it causes them to leave
• What empathy is and how to build it to empower your innovative and effective people who keep your teams connected and performing at a high level
• How to use brain-science-based strategies to manage their emotions so they can be resilient and a source of calm in your organization
• How to manage through disruptive change
