Make Kindness Contagious

A dozen recommendations about kindness in the workplace. 

1. Start your workday with a SMILE and a "GOOD MORNING!" Everyone appreciates kindness. 

2. ENJOY each moment of your workday. WORK should bring you satisfaction, motivation, and happiness; to achieve these, you should always have a POSITIVE attitude.

3. When you want something, always use the magic words PLEASE and THANK YOU. You'll get more smiles and positive responses.

4. We all have the right to DIFFERENT OPINIONS. So LISTEN with attention, LOOK your coworkers in the eyes, and answer POLITELY and with ASSURANCE, even when you don't agree.

5. Do an ACT OF KINDNESS every day, even if no one asks for it. You'll see: the magic of your kindness will be contagious.

6. When you don't agree with something STOP, take a DEEP BREATH, and THINK before ANSWERING. It will help you keep control of your emotions.

7. Don't be afraid to APOLOGIZE. We all make mistakes! Acknowledging them makes us humble and whole-hearted.

8. DIALOGUE is the best way to communicate effectively and transparently. Don't pay attention to gossip; they only disturb your peace and work environment.

9. ACKNOWLEDGE the qualifications and work of others by PRAISING your colleague's achievements; they will also learn to acknowledge yours, making a more pleasant work environment.

10. COLLABORATE with your coworkers; remember you can also need some help!

11. Avoid JUDGING your colleagues; only they know their inner troubles. Show them RESPECT, and if you can, HELP them as much as they will allow.

12. At the end of the day be THANKFUL for the work you have and say GOODBYE with a SMILE to your fellow workers. You'll feel happier and more satisfied when you get home.

REMEMBER:  KIDNESS IS CONTAGIOUS!
