Compassionate Leadership in the Re-Opening Workplace

Compassionate Leadership in the Re-Opening Workplace

A Conversation with Cambria Walsh and Tamsyn Brennan

About the Video

A recent survey found that over 40% of the global workforce is considering leaving their job this year.

As leaders, we have been navigating one friction point after another over the past 500+ days – and many of us are exhausted and worn-out. How do we navigate the challenges of the next phase of the pandemic as compassionate leaders?

In this conversation, Françoise Mathieu, Cambria Walsh, and Tamsyn Brennan discuss the toll of the pandemic on our workforce, share stories of success, and consider compassionate leadership strategies for the re-opening workplace.

Recorded in July 2021 as part of the Psychological PPE Program.
