This defense of human dignity is touching! Your ethical approach is a reference for social transformation.  
What practical mechanisms do you propose to institutionalize empathy in organizations?

Thank you. This is indeed a good question. I think that organizations should be pro-active in creating spaces for meaningful interactions with the Other. It may be a good idea to create spaces where people can co-create something, i.e. brainstorm a new idea, design something new, create an art work that represents something, etc. We should also not underestimate the value of playful creations  ...i.e. creating a drama, or a dance, or a recipe. This may be lighthearted and fun, but it is non-threatening and orchestrates interaction, learning from each other, negotiations of ideas, problem solving together, and it provides a platform for people to have their ideas recognized in the presence of the Other - which is important in the context of experiences of dignity.

I also think that it may be a good idea to facilitate workshops that focuses on introspection, perhaps my 7 steps towards awareness may be useful starting point.
