Why We Love #RAK In The Workplace!

1. It makes us better people.
   An unexpected gesture of kindness lifts us out of our self-focus—and away from our computers and smartphones.
2. It has awesome ROI.
   A simple smile can help start conversations and build relationships, notes Business Networking Academy’s “How Kindness Can Build Business Relationships.”
3. It’s healthy and contagious! Random acts of kindness don’t just benefit the receiver – they also boost the giver’s mental and physical health and inspire those who observe the act of kindness. Enjoy Priya Advani’s blog “How Random Acts of Kindness Can Benefit Your Health,”.
   
4. It’s teachable.  Leading researchers at UW Madison are finding compassion and kindness are teachable. It’s like a muscle training – the more we exercise compassion and kindness, the stronger those skills are.
   
5. Best of all, kindness only takes a moment.
