Abstract: To better understand compassion as a social and cultural process, I examine the influence of gender on the appraisal of and response to women suffering in the workplace. I propose that not only does the gendered performance of suffering impact the compassion process but examine the performance of compassion in the workplace more broadly. I examine the practice of compassion towards women in organizations and propose ways to elevate the compassion process, as well as develop a compassion intervention to practice the doing of compassion and enhance understanding about its importance.
