It’s the start of 2023 and as we face economic uncertainty, it feels on brand with the past couple of years–which  have been transformative, to say the least. A pandemic and social movements like  #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, #QuietQuitting shattered the myth that personal life doesn’t impact work. From toddlers running across the screen during meetings to being at a loss for words when racial or gender justice issues are on the minds of colleagues, recent challenges have fueled an exponential increase in burnout among senior leadership, junior staff and everyone in between.

Add the fear of job loss or stagnant business growth and you have a recipe for mental health challenges at work that can undermine an already fragile workplace culture. But what if there were a set of skills for managers to more effectively identify the causes of burnout and work collaboratively with supervisees to address stress connected to their professional and personal lives? How much more inclusive would the workplace be if staff at any level can have difficult conversations without sacrificing relationships with colleagues–even if that conversation was about termination? 

What if each person in the workplace was given permission to be completely honest about their needs to thrive in their role and had the emotional intelligence skills to communicate with the best interest of others while ensuring accountability for high job performance–regardless if their workplace is in-person, remote, or hybrid? iOpening Enterprises (iOE) invites you to learn about Compassionate Candor, our unique wellness-focused approach to building a workplace culture that honors the whole-person, provides practical tools for expanding DEI beyond the buzzwords, and improves workplace culture to ensure the gifts of each member of your team outshines the stress of living in uncertain times.
