The Era of Employee Empowerment
New hybrid working models must empower employees. And with that comes responsibility from a community of roles inside an organization.
“Emotional intelligence involves skills for understanding and regulating emotions. Emotional granularity refers to the ability to distinguish emotions in a precise and context-specific manner, and is a key part of understanding what and why we feel the way we do.”
- Dr. Elli Jin, licensed psychologist University of Texas, Austin.

Are employee engagement surveys enough?
Only two-thirds of women responding to the survey believe they can voice a contrary opinion without fear of negative consequences while 8 in 10 men feel they can voice contrary views.
“Quimby provided valuable points of discussion around the team’s wellbeing. The engineers were not only engaged in addressing the information and data points collected, but in how to implement changes based on what they had learned.”
- Paula De La Cruz, Being & Empowerment Employee Resource Group (ERG) Co-Chair
