Event Description:

Working often means collaborating with people who have different backgrounds and diverse personalities. These differences are a source of strength, but sometimes they pose challenges too. Our colleagues may have different ways of working or different perspectives on the best way to approach a work task. At the same time, we may make assumptions about a co-worker and their behavior without understanding their perspective. This can lead to misunderstandings and frustrations that can suck the joy out of work.

In this workshop, we’ll discuss how to face these challenges and create a supportive working environment by cultivating workplace empathy. By using empathy, we can boost flexibility and understanding, enjoy our co-workers, and tap the strength in our differences.
