Building The Compassionate Organisation

In these challenging times, successful organisations are learning to operate in ways that fully utilise the strengths of their people.

You need to ask yourself:

● Is your organisation structured in a way that benefits everyone: your workforce, your customers, your shareholders?

● Do you have a clear and consistent set of values that people are happy with and can work effectively with?

● Do people feel involved and want to help the organisation grow and succeed?

● Are they encouraged to speak up and be part of the organisation’s growth?

● Do you consistently ask for feedback from your customers – and act on it?!

● How could understanding and focusing on aspects such as values, culture, purpose, team structure, equality, inclusion, and levels of autonomy, enhance performance?

Operating in the way that the authors suggest leads to commitment from all organisational members, better customer relationships, more effective performance and, if you are a commercial organisation, better financial returns. What’s there to lose?

Join Craig Smith in conversation with the authors – Ralph Lewis and Charlie Foote – to discover the many advantages to be derived from operating in a compassionate way, and to find out how you can operate compassionately and work effectively whilst also being financially successful.

This discussion, beneficial for all businesspeople, from sole traders to company directors, will delve into the importance of compassion, care, autonomy, teamwork and individual values, and will highlight why having a structured hierarchy may not be the best way forward, particularly in creative environments.

Attendees will take away many ideas to consider, and practical steps to make changes that can lead to an even better organisation for them.
