Raise Your Game: To Retain Your Employees, Retrain Yourself To Have Empathy

Retaining employees used to be as simple as raising salaries and providing job security. A few decades ago, most people would be grateful just to have a stable job which led to a predictable income and benefits.

Joseph Tan from Leaderonomics Good Monday joins us to share the two forms of empathy that managers can embrace in their leadership to help retain their best talent in the organisation.
