Making moments that matter at Marsh McLennan

In conversation with Anuradha Mishra of Marsh McLennan and Minaxi Indra of upGrad for Business, we find out how businesses can set people up for success by empowering them with interpersonal skills.

 

Marsh McLennan (MMC) truly believes that interpersonal effectiveness is an important part of an organisation’s learning and culture. The vision was to strengthen an open, people-centric culture that emphasises the importance of making moments memorable and meaningful across the employee lifecycle. This led to an impactful partnership with upGrad Work Better, where together they launched the Enhancing Interpersonal Skills Program to develop more empathetic relationships in the workplace. It played a critical role in setting people up for success in a corporate setting by enabling them to communicate, build camaraderie and align to achieve business outcomes.

Soft skills are important for companies to increase employee engagement and retention and achieve overall business growth. At MMC, prioritising interpersonal relationships led to early attrition going down, discourse on wellness going up, people bringing their best selves to their meetings and reinforcement of belonging, care and empathy. In our exclusive, one-of-a-kind multimedia flipbook, in partnership with upGrad for Business, titled Amplifying Growth, Achieving Impact: Customer Success Stories, we unlock more critical insights on empowering a better future for all by investing in interpersonal skills at the workplace.
