Subject
: Lack of Compassion and Communication in the Workplace
My observations have led me to conclude that compassion and communication are
deficient in the workplace. This can manifest itself in various ways, such as an inability to
comprehend the requirements of one's coworkers, a failure to take the time to hear out the
viewpoints of others, or a failure to supply enough assistance or resources to one's workforce.
The absence of compassion and communication in the workplace can have a detrimental impact
on morale, as well as productivity, and job satisfaction.
I would suggest setting up a method of routine check-ins between employees and their
managers to resolve this problem. At these check-ins, employees could provide feedback on how
satisfied they are with their jobs, voice any concerns about the workplace, and receive support
and tools to help them prosper. In addition, I advise putting in place a method for employees to
submit feedback on their experiences at work while maintaining their anonymity through a
feedback system. Employees could freely express their wants and emotions without the risk of
retaliation if they had access to this simple and secure communication channel.
According to research, regular check-ins and anonymous feedback systems have been
proved to improve work satisfaction, reduce stress, and raise productivity. For instance, a study
that the Harvard Business Review carried out discovered that businesses that employed regular
check-ins showed an increase in employee engagement and a drop in turnover and absenteeism
at the company (Stein et al., 2021). A study conducted by National Public Radio indicated that
anonymous feedback systems made employees feel more comfortable sharing their ideas and
encouraged honest communication between employees and management.
To solve the workplace's shortage of compassion and communication, I feel that one
potential approach is to adopt regular check-ins in conjunction with an anonymous feedback
system. Employees would be able to express their opinions in a way that is heard and
acknowledged, and the resulting culture would be one of trust and respect. As a result, I strongly
encourage every worker to consider introducing these safeguards into their workplaces carefully.
