At a time of “The Great Resignation” and an acute talent shortage, savvy leaders recognize the value of placing people first as essential to recruiting the top talent they require – as well as keeping employees engaged and fulfilled at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employees who feel valued and cared for by their employer typically produce better work, staying longer with the business – which is good news indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yaccarino has made this clear since she joined Twitter. At an advertising conference in Miami Beach, she interviewed CEO Elon Musk and applauded his work ethic while simultaneously discussing advertisers’ concerns over content moderation policies on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her approach demonstrates a deep commitment to employee happiness – one of the keys to business success in today’s remote workplaces. Prioritizing employee wellbeing may mean offering additional classes or holistic experiences such as yoga or budget planning workshops as a means of improving overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading with Empathy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Empathy is an essential ingredient of leadership that enhances one’s ability to support, motivate and provide care for their team. Furthermore, empathy fosters a positive work culture and environment of inclusivity – research has found that those led by more empathic senior leaders report greater success at managing both work-life and personal obligations effectively than those with less empathic senior leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People led by empathic managers tend to experience improved performance, lower turnover, and increased customer satisfaction – all essential ingredients of business success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empathy can often be seen as an area of weakness or only applicable in specific situations, but when applied effectively it can become one of the most powerful leadership tools a person has available to them. Leaders who use empathy effectively to lead understand their team members’ individual strengths, struggles and learning opportunities while helping them meet expectations and overcome any challenges presented to them – this ensures their team succeeds and contributes towards overall wellbeing and life success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
