Wellness Program offers series on the power of kindness

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 join the Wellness Program 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. 

MJ Shaar, a wellness and motivational speaker, will lead this series, which will be held on Tuesdays from Oct. 1 to Nov. 19, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.

Participants will discover how:

  • Kindness contributes to physical and mental health improvements;
  • Being kind provides competitive advantages that lead to higher success levels at work; and
  • Kindness can become an uplifting and sustainable part of our daily lives.

Faculty and staff receiving the monthly Wellness Program Incentive will be eligible for the Community Well-being Program Incentive.
