Empathy, which is the ability to understand other people’s emotions and what they’re thinking or feeling, is a powerful tool for building relationships and creating meaningful connections at work. Empathy allows employees to foster a sense of unity with one another, which in turn fosters productivity and increases employee satisfaction.
However, despite the vital role empathy plans in creating effective employees and efficient workspaces, many of us struggle with the concept. Some of us have difficulty showing empathy; others simply forget to do to so. This is especially true at work, where busyness, distractions and frustration can act as “empathy blockers,” keeping us from connecting with others. [Read more…] about How to Improve Empathy at Work

Most of my friends are now sick with a cold or a flu. It is that time of year. Germs travel fast in the office. But, have you ever wondered what the most germ filled place in the office is? It’s not the toilet.

The computer keyboard holds more germs than the toilet. This is what the research says, you can see the original news article over at BBC here. I have read about this many times before and I think it is really interesting.
