In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, essential dynamics like collaboration, cohesion and validation are often overlooked, if not outright dismissed. This is a missed opportunity, as scientific evidence shows that these positive interactions boost productivity, enhance problem-solving, spark innovation and strengthen team spirit, leading to significantly improved overall performance. Moreover, research reveals that the benefits of kindness extend beyond the workplace, promoting physical health, longevity and reducing stress and discomfort in ways that modern medicine can’t fully explain.
Case Western Reserve University faculty and staff members are invited to participate in a Wellness Program series to explore the transformative power of kindness in the workplace and learn how to turn “have a good day” from polite lip service into reality.
Led by MJ Shaar, this series will offer the following key takeaways for participants:
- How kindness contributes to physical and mental health improvements;
- How being kind provides competitive advantages that lead to higher success levels at work; and
- How to make kindness an uplifting and sustainable part of our daily lives.
The series will be offered Tuesdays from March 25 through May 20. There will not be a session April 8. Each session will be from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
