Gratitude, Giving Back, and Creating a Culture of Wellness
Unhealthy workplaces have been shown to increase stress, anxiety, unproductivity, and social withdrawal. By bringing back civility, and creating an office culture of positivity, together we can bring back a sense of community to the workplace. Activities such as creating a Random Act of Kindness binder leaving a few kind words on our Thank A HealthCare Worker page are self-reportable for points. For more information on gratitude and civility in the workplace, visit Be Kind, Unwind. You may also see all of the upcoming planned events by viewing our Monthly Calendar.
