According to
an article by QSR Magazine, empathy is an increasingly important factor for employees when choosing where to work, especially for younger workers.
It is no longer just a soft skill, but a critical element of workforce management.
Talk to your employees to find out how you can work with them in a given situation.
Clarify what you expect, but also let them know what you aren't demanding of them.
In other words, be a good manager and show your employees that you care about them as people, not just as workers.
