The impact of compassion at work

Compassionate workplaces are good for staff, organizations, and the communities and nations they are based in.  

Emotions

People who have reported experiencing compassion at work tend, on average, to have 19% fewer negative emotions, 17% less pain, a 10% reduction in feelings of fear, and an 8% drop in levels of sadness.


Communities

When we orientate our emotions and behaviors towards empathy, our propensity to help others grows. For example, one study showed that an increase in empathy levels is associated with up to a 40% increase in the willingness of individuals to share resources. 

Pay

For too many workers, their pay simply doesn’t match the cost of living in their country or the expectations and pressures that are put on them by society. While the number of billionaires continues to rise, just 22% of people say their pay is adequate for their living expenses.
