The top 20 most and least empathetic companies
As interactions between corporations and people become increasingly intertwined through social media, companies have been forced to become increasingly more empathetic to their customers, employees and the general public.
And the Harvard Business Review has attempted to evaluate these efforts to create emotional connections.
It has ranked 170 companies on categories such as ethics, leadership. Company culture, brand perception, public messaging through social media, CEO approval ratings from workers, ratio of women on boards, as well as accounting infractions and scandals.
The results go beyond a company's efforts to change its culture, HBR has also found a correlation as high as 80 per cent between departments with higher empathy and with high performers.
The top 10 companies in last year's rankings also increased in value more than twice as much as the bottom 10 and brought in 50 percent more earnings.
With that being said, click through the gallery to see this year's 20 most and least empathetic companies.
