THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT AT WORK

Emotions influence every workplace interaction. When employees feel ignored or dismissed, engagement drops, collaboration weakens, and turnover rises. But when leaders and teams develop emotional intelligence, workplaces become more supportive and productive.

The research shows:

  • Employees who feel heard are nearly five times more likely to perform at their best (Harvard Business Review)

  • 90 percent of top performers have high emotional intelligence (TalentSmart)

  • Companies that prioritize empathy outperform competitors by 20 percent (Center for Creative Leadership)
