A Discussion on Compassionate Leadership in the Re-Opening Workplace
Recorded July 26th, 2021
A recent survey found that over 40% of the global workforce is considering leaving their job this year. As leaders, we have been navigating one friction point after another over the past 500+ days – and many of us are exhausted and worn-out.
How do we navigate the challenges of the next phase of the pandemic as compassionate leaders?
Join Françoise Mathieu, Cambria Walsh, and Tamsyn Brennan as they discuss the toll of the pandemic on our workforce, share stories of success, and consider compassionate leadership strategies for the re-opening workplace.
