How Compassion Becomes the New Normal
Compassion becomes embedded in organizations through the ways work gets done every day. Small changes to routines for hiring, meetings, communication, support, and project management can make it easier to notice and respond to people’s needs. Repeated over time, these small shifts help weave compassion into the fabric of the organization.
