The New Work Reality at OneLogin

Empathy at Work

S1E9 The New Work Reality at OneLogin

July 7, 2021

What happens when a crisis (let’s say, a global pandemic) forces an organization to completely rethink its values and workplace ethic?

Today on First Person Plural, we dive into all things Empathy with two leaders who have experienced that shift firsthand. 

Dan Goleman interviews Brad Brooks, CEO of OneLogin, and Courtney Harrison, OneLogin’s Head of HR, on how their company supported employees through turbulent times, and why Emotional Intelligence (EI), with a particular emphasis on Empathy, became their greatest tool.
