Emotions are at the heart of what many employees do and why they do it. Educators come to teaching with dreams of changing the odds for disadvantaged children and inspiring a love for learning. Nurses come to work with aspirations of caring for and healing others. Lawyers find themselves in the courtroom because of their passion for justice and advocating for others. Unfortunately, research shows that about 52% of employees are unhappy at work. Disengagement and dissatisfaction among workers have reached unprecedented levels.

There are many professions that involve an emotional practice, and employees need support in strengthening their social and emotional skills to manage the stress that comes with their careers so they stay in the profession for the long term.
