Our Empathy Index
Our founding principle is you can’t manage something if you don’t measure it.
We created the first ever Empathy Index which is published in the Harvard Business Review. Our Global Empathy Index 2015 showed that top 10 companies increased in value more than twice as much as the bottom 10 and generated 50% more earnings. More empathic companies deliver more financial value.
If you would like to know your company’s empathy quotient, please email Lyndi.
