EMPATHY AS A PANACEA TO THE GREAT RESIGNATION: IS OUR BUSINESS LANDSCAPE AND ITS LEADERS CAPABLE TO ACCOMMODATE FOR REAL EMPATHY?

Abstract

This back-page article questions the recent call for empathy among organizations to manage what is being heralded as the Great Resignation as a result of the pandemic. The author questions how the call for empathy among business leaders addresses the deep systemic issues that have gone unnoticed, unaddressed, and perhaps even been fostered, and thus have become legacies within organizations.
