Employees across the world have underscored the need for more empathetic leaders as they grapple from stress, burnout, and declining job satisfaction, according to a new report.
A survey by Dayforce from over 8,700 employees across the world found that only 48% agreed their organisation empathises with employees.
Among those who disagreed, 90% of them said leaders exhibiting more empathy to employees would positively impact their work lives. This includes:
- Improving job satisfaction (52%)
- Improving job performance (39%)
- Increasing productivity (37%)
- Improving mental health or levels of burnout (48%)
- Making them more loyal (41%)
