I think this is one piece of the puzzle absolutely. I also think companies try to compensate for this blurring of boundaries by offering so many wellness benefits - and perhaps it's asking employees to frequently turn inward and evaluate emotions too often (or in the wrong setting). I find that when I'm focused on myself, I feel worse. When I'm focused on others, I feel better. I find that when I'm self-evaluating, I feel worse. When I'm assessing my next goal, I feel better. As a people manager, I certainly do spend time building relationships, but in a 1:1, I never mine for "how are you doing?" information. I almost always focus on 1) making it clear what the goal is; 2) offering help in supporting achieving that goal (so they gain new skills).
