"Empathy in the workplace is now more important than ever. Few leaders manage to motivate their employees remotely: keep giving feedback, informally and on a frequent basis. We've been talking for years about how we work and where we do it. Since Corona, all sorts of things have suddenly become possible. Now more important than ever is the human touch. Taking care of each other and focusing on empathy. My advice for leaders? Give employees autonomy and the feeling that their work matters. Do that by constantly giving them feedback."
"When do employees perform optimally? Timing is another important aspect. Keep an eye on what moments of the day your employees perform optimally. Take an example of teachers or crèche leaders, they know very well how to take the rhythm of children into account. The best leaders stand behind their team."
