What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognize and manage your own emotions while understanding and responding effectively to the emotions of others. It is a critical leadership skill that strengthens communication, decision-making, relationships, and performance.
Because emotional intelligence can be developed, individuals and organizations can build stronger leaders, improve collaboration, increase resilience, and create high-performing workplace cultures.

What Does the Emotional Culture Index Measure?
The Emotional Culture Index (ECI) provides a clear picture of the emotional experiences shaping your workplace by measuring three key dimensions:
- Current Experience – How frequently your employees experience specific emotions in the workplace.
- Perceived Appropriateness – How often employees believe it is reasonable and appropriate to experience those emotions based on your organization's environment, culture, and day-to-day realities.
- Desired Emotional Culture – How often employees believe they should experience those emotions to perform at their best and contribute to a healthy, high-performing workplace.
By comparing these three dimensions, the Emotional Culture Index uncovers gaps between the current emotional climate and the culture employees need to thrive. These insights help leaders make targeted, evidence-based decisions to strengthen engagement, resilience, collaboration, leadership effectiveness, and organizational performance.
In today's fast-paced workplace, the ability to understand and manage emotions is a critical driver of leadership and organizational success. Emotionally intelligent individuals communicate more effectively, build stronger relationships, navigate challenges with confidence, and foster high-performing teams.
