Empathable: Reimagining Empathy Training for Lasting Impact
Traditional empathy training often falls flat, treating empathy as a theoretical concept rather than a lived experience. True empathy comes from understanding different perspectives and practicing compassionate communication—not just hearing about it.
From student onboarding to faculty wellbeing, our programs strengthen connection, retention, and resilience.
We’ve entered an era where higher education must consider building belonging through the lens of the entire community. That’s precisely where Empathable has been all along—our approach to community building is thoughtfully infused with research on operationalizing an empathy mindset across students, staff, and faculty.
To address this holistic need, we’ve developed three specific programs tailored to each of these essential groups. Our impact is measurable: when we implemented a community building onboarding for incoming students, 86% of the 200 participants reported it as one of their most impactful learning experiences ever.
We’ve seen similar success with both one-off sessions and multi-month engagements for staff, resulting in double-digit increases in their sense of connection and resilience when supporting students. And knowing that faculty can be the most challenging to engage due to their packed schedules, we’ve crafted programs that respect their specific needs and time constraints.
Below you’ll find statistics demonstrating how our community-building approach can enhance outcomes in student recruitment and retention. But why don’t we start with a conversation? I’d love to hear how things have been going at your higher education institution and explore how we might help.
