Transform Your Workplace: The Economy of Kindness
With host Brandon Laws and guest Linda Cohen
Episode Overview:
A hard-hitting pandemic spurred an initial, unexpected rise in kindness. But before long, we settled back into our old ways. Could your business use a lesson in ramping up kindness? In this episode of the Transform Your Workplace podcast, Linda Cohen — expert, author, and speaker — brings kindness back to the forefront of the workplace conversation. Listen in as Linda Cohen shares touching stories and drives home the idea that kindness affects everyone and everything it touches, even a business’s bottom line.
Takeaways:
- If a business’s reputation is affected by unkindness, it inevitably affects the bottom line.
- Creating a culture of kindness is an opportunity for you and your organization to think about what would elevate your level of inclusivity.
- When asked what holds them back from being kind, people tend to answer the same way: stress, fatigue, and time.
- Communication from leadership needs to be supportive and open so that employees feel encouraged to share their thoughts and concerns.
