Why Empathy is Essential in the Workplace

Facilitated by Jeannie Frazier with Franklin Covey


Empathy is the ability to share and understand the emotion of others. It is important because it helps us understand how others are feeling, so we can respond appropriately to the situation. Remember, there is always more than meets the eye.

Empathy is more than a “soft skill” that can be learned and practiced. When genuinely used correctly, Empathy can become one of the most powerful assets to positively impact an organization’s bottom line, retention, and engagement. 87% of CEOs believe Empathy is linked to financial performance per the State of Workplace Empathy.


During this meeting, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Explore the significance of Empathy in the workplace
  • Analyze Empathy in leadership

  • Learn how to build Empathy with co-workers

  • Use curiosity and Empathy to hear and value diverse perspectives
The end in mind for our time together is to ensure you take away ideas and best practices

from the research and your colleagues to build more effective relationships, improve

human interactions, and drive positive experiences in the workplace. 


Members will increase their understanding of the importance and the skill behind Empathy. They will walk away with research, statistics, new ideas, and proven best practices to help make their organizations more empathic.
