Kindness in the workplace goes beyond the mundane niceties of “Good morning” and “How was your weekend?” There is more intention to it than that. It could be something as simple as offering to help a coworker with a task or taking the time to listen to someone's concerns. It could also be something bigger, like supporting a colleague who is navigating a major life transition or organizing a company-wide relief effort in support of a good cause. Our guest for this episode, Nick Ferrialo, says, “Being kind is being active and it's more soul-based.”

Creating a culture of kindness in the workplace is essential as it can have a tremendous impact on employee wellbeing. It helps improve morale and motivation, too. Because when people feel like they are part of a supportive and caring workplace, they are more likely to be engaged in their work and committed to their company.
