Overview

The most common cause of stress is workplace stress. 13.7 million working days are lost each year in the UK because of work-related stress, anxiety and depression, costing £28.3 billion yearly (NICE). Inpatient hospital admissions caused by stress-related illnesses in the UK cost around £8.13bn

Compassionate leaders provide clear goals and good team leadership within a psychologically safe environment, which leads to lower levels of stress. In organisations where there is an absence of compassionate leadership, staff report high levels of work overload, less influence over decision-making and there are poorer outcomes.  Compassionate leadership increases staff engagement and satisfaction, and results in improved financial performance. 

This programme will discuss what compassionate leadership is and how this differs from other forms of leadership. It will explain the direct link between compassionate leadership and successful, sustainable organisational growth. The session will detail the key components of compassionate leadership and how this can be achieved in practice.
