I took part in a conference in London to explore the benefits of creating a culture of compassion at work.
My role was to introduce and interview the speakers – leading business professors, consultants, psychologists, scientists, teachers, healthcare professionals and others who have been studying compassion and how it can transform companies and organisations…
Here are six things I learned about why this matters:
1. Stress is bad for business…
2. Compassion boosts the bottom line…
3. Givers come out on top…
4. Compassion makes us happier and healthier…
5. Kindness is contagious…
6. Everyone wins…
