Random acts of kindness have been proven to boost our mood and mental health. They can make us feel connected, give us a sense of purpose, and let others know that they are appreciated. Acts of kindness don’t go unnoticed and can have a huge impact on the overall positivity of a workplace and community.

Join in the movement to make kindness the norm. Kindness is not limited to one day of the year; every day is a good day to spread kindness.

Remember, spreading kindness can be as simple as saying hello to a stranger, holding the door open, or wishing someone a great day. Sometimes it’s the smallest gesture that can have the biggest impact on someone’s day.
