00:00Hello, I'm Goldie Chan, and here are five reasons why compassionate leadership is the
00:11key to success.
00:13Number one, people thrive in the presence of compassion.
00:18Compassionate leadership is the combination of empathy and good leadership skills.
00:23When people feel safe, they're more likely to be vulnerable, and they're more likely
00:28to share what is really going on in their lives and at work.
00:33It leads to a deeper human connection between team members.
00:39Number two, people need to feel understood.
00:43While some employees go to work simply for the paycheck, many others want to find a sense
00:48of purpose within their role, and with the right guidance, they can.
00:54Number three, compassion makes a happier workforce.
00:59When employees feel safe, secure, and heard, it boosts employee morale, and that of course
01:07leads to a happier set of employees.
01:12Number four, compassion reduces turnover.
01:16Research has shown that employees would rather work for a company that pays a little less
01:22and focuses much more on employee mental health.
01:26Number five, compassion improves job satisfaction.
01:30A compassionate work environment reduces stress and increases positivity, allowing workers
01:38to be more effective at their roles.
