Empathable helps leaders, teams and communities apply empathy better, and faster, measurably driving performance. Immersive and backed by world-class scientists, Empathables short-burst videos are based on real life experiences that your team can integrate back into their own day to day.

EXPERIENTIAL: Empathable creates the link between concept and reality, allowing participants to feel supported in areas like mentorship, one-on-ones, feedback, and DEI topics. The nuances of diverse identity features are woven into the learning itself – through Empathable, participants are immersed in real moments and interactions: leader to employee, team member to peer, human to human.

NO RIGHT OR WRONG: We believe in positive empowerment. Our experience is not meant to define what’s right or wrong for you. Instead, you have the opportunity to take a Walk in someone else’s shoes in less than 5 minutes. With our psychology-based reflection questions, learn how to examine your reactions to these moments, and then apply your learning to daily life.

REAL, NOT DRAMATIZED: Our experiences are created based on the lives of real people. We never use hypothetical situations. We recreate pivotal moments in the lives of these knowledge holders, so they can be shared and passed on, at scale.

EASY, REFLECTIVE, AND SOCIAL: In just 5 minutes, experience a Walk, take time to reflect in-app, then build connections with those experiencing the app with you.

MEASURABLE: We provide teams with measurements of progress throughout your engagement.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND EMPATHABLE

Empathable is backed by top scientists in the fields of social science, psychology, and bias intervention and has impacted more than 15,000 people to date, showing measurable increases in belonging, psychological safety, and retention across dozens of organizations including Meta, Ford, Target, and Cisco.

Most learning is box-checking, cerebral information, designed for compliance, then forgotten. It doesn’t change anything. This is because "...behavior change occurs through...making meaning of anothers experience. [This is] long recognized as a key driver in a teams success."
- Harvard Business School

HOW EMPATHABLE WORKS WITH TEAMS

We work with teams at corporations, K-12 schools, universities, medical institutions, nonprofits, and more.

We co-design a curriculum for your team to acknowledge challenges you may be facing. By taking a Walk once a week and reflecting with your team in check-ins, you will learn how to build an empathic team or community that achieves goals better.
