Maria Arpa on Creating a Toxic Free Culture: The Power of Compassionate Communication

Compassionate communication in the business world often gets a bad rap, seen as naive, idealistic, or even a sign of weakness. Many mistakenly believe that focusing on empathy and understanding makes one ill-equipped for the tough decisions that business demands. However, research consistently shows that employees who feel heard and understood are more engaged and satisfied in their roles.

In fact, a study by Catalyst found that 76% of people who experienced empathy from their leaders felt engaged, compared to just 32% who reported less empathy. When organizations neglect compassionate communication, it can lead to a culture dominated by fear, blame, and unhealthy competition.
