Showing kindness at work can make a big difference in improving workplace culture and overall morale. Here are seven effective ways to show workplace kindness:
- Express Gratitude
A simple “thank you” can go a long way in showing appreciation for a colleague’s hard work or assistance.
- Offer Support
Be there for your coworkers when they need help or guidance. You can offer to help with a project or lend an ear when they need to talk.
- Celebrate Milestones
Recognize your coworkers’ accomplishments and celebrate their successes with them.
- Share Knowledge
If you have a skill or expertise that could be useful to a colleague, offer to teach or mentor them.
- Practice Active Listening
When someone is speaking to you, give them your full attention and validate their thoughts and feelings.
- Show Empathy
Put yourself in your coworkers’ shoes and show compassion when they are going through a difficult time.
- Random Acts of Kindness
Surprise your coworkers with small gestures of kindness, such as bringing in their favourite snack or leaving a thoughtful note on their desk.
