Leaders and managers want to support everyone on their teams, and there are great training programs out there to do exactly that. But what about their team members who need little extra help? They could have disabled and neurodivergent team members or someone in a marginalized community. If they aren’t sure how to appropriately support these colleagues, it could have serious consequences. Disclosures are mishandled, accommodations are missed, and small moments of misunderstanding turn into lasting disengagement.
EmpathyLearns gives your leaders, managers, and teams the real-world insight, understanding, and communication skills needed to support every individual and lead with confidence.
EmpathyLearns gives your people the tools to handle critical workplace moments before they escalate into bigger issues. When teams are equipped with clear, skills-based training and practical knowledge, they’re more prepared, more confident, and more consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can We Train a Global Audience?
Yes. Our training is designed to be delivered to a global audience and we have experts in each country who are able to tailor the courses to ensure it aligns with local legislation.
How Do You Handle Disclosure?
One of the amazing things we see during our training is participants feeling comfortable to disclose and very often our clients will let us know that disclosure rates had increased following our training. With this in mind we will always let everyone know at the start of any training if it is being recorded. We remind all participants that whilst we encourage open and honest conversations, people may have different opinions on how their diagnosis impacts them and will have had different experiences.
Can We Record The Training?
We have various options available to training recordings. When discussing the training with our team they will be able to talk you through these options.
How Many People Can Attend Your Instructor Led Sessions?
For our instructor led sessions we feel that they run best with a minimum of 15 and maximum of 50 participants. However, if you have larger groups our team will be happy to find the best way to accommodate this.
Is The Content Fully Accessible?
Yes. Our team have taken great care to ensure all the content is fully accessible. We have ensured that all content can be effectively picked up by screen readers, ensured colour contrast is accessible and used closed captioning and transcriptions for any online modules and webinars. However, we are always learning and welcome feedback on our accessibility. If you do have any specific accessibility request you can talk to a member of the team who will be more than happy to ensure your request is implemented.
You have team members who need additional support. If your managers are still guessing what to do when it comes to disclosure, accommodations, or effective communication, we're ready to help.
