What is "gentle parenting" and does it work in the workplace?

A manager revealed the unique tactic that she uses on her employees to be sure they're happy at work. In a TikTok video, one manager at a pizza restaurant shows how she interacts with her coworkers to try and promote a healthy workplace so that they don't quit and abruptly leave, which many viewers found refreshing. She uses 'gentle parenting' to make sure her coworkers 'don't walk out' on her because they're unhappy. In the short clip, which has gotten over 800,000 views, the manager of MOD Pizza filmed herself going around to all the different employees to offer them words of affirmation and praise for their hard work.

The term gentle parenting is often associated with families as a parenting style that encompasses empathy, respect, understanding, and boundaries.

It seems that this manager has decided to use gentle parenting outside of being a parent, and instead takes those same beliefs and applies them to her employees as their manager.
