What is this lunch talk about?

Workplace sensitivity helps people recognise differences, understand emotions and communicate with greater consideration. This talk explores its value in everyday interactions.

Participants examine empathy, cultural awareness, personal biases and the verbal and non-verbal signals that influence communication.

Practical workplace scenarios show how sensitivity can reduce tension, encourage inclusion and strengthen professional relationships.
