The Hidden Employee Experience: Facilitating Psychological Safety & Empathy
Dr. Jennifer Fairweather, CHRO at Jefferson County
You’ve heard of quiet quitting, the great resignation, and all the other trendy buzzwords created to describe the same thing: dissatisfied employees. After the COVID-19 pandemic, people were burnt out. Employees quit in herds seeking different opportunities, safer working conditions, and simply, better treatment. Building a healthy workplace requires HR leaders to evaluate and address the hidden employee experience, including the emotional and psychological needs of their organization.
To discuss the importance of promoting psychological safety and empathy in the workplace, we hosted Dr. Jennifer Fairweather, Chief Human Resources Officer at Jefferson County. In this HR at the Table webinar, we explored:
The post-pandemic hiring landscape
Uncovering “hidden” employee needs
Navigating and resolving negative employee experiences
