How to create energy, engagement and ultimately, how to thrive.
Emotions are the fuel that boost people to make things happen – or not.
Everyone experiences different emotions at work all the time – excitement, confusion, frustration, curiosity, joy… Emotions at work have a crucial impact on learning, motivation and performance.
The emotions that employees experience and express together create a unique Emotional Climate in a given team or an organization. At its best, a rich emotional climate translates into increased productivity, improved performance and employee well-being.
Leading the emotional climate improves employee performance and well-being and increases organizational productivity.
While most companies focus on hard facts like operating models, KPI’s and goal setting, the fact remains that even with the best systems in place, emotions still run people. While those hard facts are important, they won’t work without emotions.
Our approach will actually make use of those hard facts: We help you understand, deal with, and unleash the power of emotions at work. And we provide you this through our proven and impactful Emergy Emotional Agency™ Program. Emotional Agency is the awareness and understanding of emotions in activities and interactions in the workplace.
We give you and your employees concrete tools and practical step-by-step processes: how to deal with challenging situations, how to awaken authentic joy and use the power of emotions at work. These processes are linked to real work life scenarious and deal with situations that take place in every workplace all the time.

I have been able to use the tools and skills that I learned in the training at work. I have, for example, used the seven psychological needs as a basis for my development dialogues. So far, the results are so promising and now our dialogues with the team are honest and open.

What’s the difference between Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Agency?
Emotional intelligence is the ability to act in an emotionally intelligent manner with oneself and with others. Emotional intelligence is usually only assessed at the individual level, without regard to the group dynamic.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to act in an emotionally intelligent manner with oneself and with others. Emotional intelligence is usually only assessed at the individual level, without regard to the group dynamic.
Emotional agency is the awareness, understanding and consideration of emotions in activities, interactions and organizational practices. It is worth noting that emotional agency is a competence that CAN be developed – and as the term agency indicates, the whole core of it lies in active participation – learning and continuous development being the key elements of it.
What is Emotional Agency?
Researchers from the best Universities in Finland together with the Emergy team got together and brought the concepts of agency and emotional intelligence together, creating a completely new and innovative concept: Emotional Agency. Emotional Agency takes into account both the individual level and the interpersonal (group) level. It is a completely new way to think about workplace emotional intelligence.
The first article of this groundbreaking research on the concept of emotional agency has just been published: Emotional Agency at work: The Development and Validation of a Measure.
