In the modern era, in which technology and automation have revolutionized the world of work, emotional intelligence It has become a critical skill for success in any organization. This term refers to the ability to recognize, understand and manage one’s own emotions to respond assertively.

“Companies are beginning to understand the importance of emotional intelligence and its impact on job performance. It is not only about being competent in technical tasks, but also about knowing how to interact with others effectively or manage stress and pressure,” explains Yunue Cárdenas, Coordinator of the Psychology HUB at Affor Health.
What are the benefits it generates?
The emotional intelligence in the workplace is a skill that influences multiple aspects of job performance, such as:
Stress management: Teams often face challenges and pressures, and employees with high emotional intelligence are more successful in managing these types of situations.
Effective communication: Emotional intelligence facilitates effective communication by promoting active listening and mutual understanding.
Collaborative decision making: Teams need to make decisions together. Emotional intelligence helps these to be balanced, considering not only the logical aspects, but also the emotional implications.
Given this, the occupational mental health specialist points out that it is important for companies to understand the benefits of mental health and have tools that help them promote it among their teams.
This becomes a great differentiator, especially in a country like Mexico, where 85% of organizations do not have the appropriate conditions to take care of their human talent or mitigate different disorders such as stress or burnout, says a report from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
According to Affor Health, these are some ways in which companies can take care of the mental health of their employees and strengthen teamwork:
Assess psychosocial risk factors. Promote a positive work environment. Offer training resources to take care of mental health. Promote a balance between work and personal life. Train leaders in emotional intelligence. Recognize and address work stress. Accompany employees with psychological counseling programs, such as PAE.
