Coach managers on how to genuinely care for others

It’s not always natural or comfortable for managers to express care, they may feel awkward or unclear on boundaries. But demonstrating care doesn’t have to be intrusive, and not every employee will want or need the same degree of care.

Give managers discretion and resources to offer small acts of care as the need arises. (some eg: Gift cards for food-delivery apps, handwritten notes of appreciation or concern, etc)

Also, model vulnerability to make it safe for others. When others see you asking for help or appropriately acknowledging difficulties, it shows them it’s okay for them to do so.
