The Hidden Power of Kindness at the Workplace

Notice, Act, Smile!

Kindness is not the first thing to spring to mind when you think about work because it is not seen as a priority. Office culture is often seen as cutthroat competition, criticism, lack of collaboration and miscommunication. This leads to worried employees who focus more on keeping their jobs and the result is a gloomy work environment. Employees are not emotional islands, they can easily be influenced by negative moods in the work place. The coldness experienced at the workplace has reached a point where civility and courtesy need to be discussed openly. Kindness can make a difference by making work a little easier and everything a little better. As Plato said “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” Keep this in mind to inspire your acts of kindness every day. How would it be if organizations added “Kindness Performance Indicators” to the familiar “Key Performance Indicators?” Let’s engage with this course to learn how we can embrace kindness and its positive ripple effect that affects workplace culture and improves productivity and interpersonal relationships.
