Identity Work

Why Sharing Lunch With Coworkers Is a Bigger Deal Than You Think


Listen Later

In this episode of The Identity Work Podcast, we explore what truly makes us happy at work, with special guest Lexi Reiff! We discuss the World Happiness Report and a surprising finding: the perception of kindness across the entire company is a bigger predictor of workplace happiness than your individual boss or even your own competence. 

We talk about generosity and how expecting kindness from others, often a result of being kind yourself, boosts your own happiness. Lexi shares a fantastic real-life example of her team's daily shared lunches fostering joy and connection, highlighting research on the power of eating together. Even Steven admits he’s often eating at his desk but is inspired to change!

Where can you find or create more kindness (and maybe share a meal) at work this week?
