K is for… Be Kind

Kindness can  help reduce stress and improve our emotional wellbeing. So choose to do something that helps others on a regular basis and put other people’s needs before your own. These can be simple acts. Here are some examples of simple acts of kindness for the workplace:

  • Say hi to colleagues and ask how they are  
  • Offer to support colleagues who may not be familiar with a technical skill that you are familiar with
  • Set up a virtual coffee/lunch club to keep in touch with your colleagues 
  • Have a conversation with a colleague you don’t normally talk to   
  • Get to know a new member of staff 
  • listen to your colleague who is having a bad day  
  • Say thank you to a colleague who has helped you  
  • Praise a colleague for something they have done well  
  • Celebrate and mention the achievements of others on your team.

Simple everyday things. Simply put – helping others feels good and create a feeling of happiness which in turn helps boost your own wellbeing.
