Cultivating Calm & Kindness in the Workplace
Stress is no longer a rare workplace occurrence—it’s a daily reality for millions of employees. As organizations navigate economic pressures, shifting expectations, and increased workloads, leaders are recognizing that employee well-being isn’t just “nice to have.” It’s essential to maintaining productivity, engagement, and a healthy culture.
Our tip sheet, “Cultivating Calm & Kindness: How Employers Can Support Stress Awareness and World Kindness Day”, was designed to help employers take meaningful, actionable steps—starting today.
Why Stress & Kindness Matter More Than Ever
High stress impacts workplaces in significant ways:
- Increased burnout
- Higher absenteeism
- More conflict and miscommunication
- Difficulty focusing
- Lower engagement and productivity
On the other hand, small acts of kindness and intentional wellness support can transform an organization from the inside out. Research shows that kindness boosts team morale, enhances trust, reduces stress levels, and increases belonging—all factors that directly impact performance.
When employers intentionally cultivate both calm and kindness, they’re not only supporting individual employees—they’re strengthening the entire organization.
