BetterUp’s Post

"The pace of technological, geopolitical, and market change means constant organizational change. This can result in a high baseline level of uncertainty, worry, and stress," Gabriella Rosen Kellerman, MD, chief innovation officer at BetterUp told Newsweek. "Asking about a topic like stress doesn't mean you have to know how to solve a problem. It shows that you care, as a manager, and you're paying attention to the employee's whole person. You can simply express empathy and recommend resources available through your organization." https://lnkd.in/gXczUaWA
