Kindness For All

If you think Kindness is a fluff word, or possibly you think it is too much of a simple idea to incorporate into your business – think again. What does Kindness mean to you?

In a business context, kindness is a very tangible way of making mutual respect actionable. It is a shift in the way we think about business and kindness.

Have you ever shopped or continued to used a service that provided you with extra care and attention? Did it feel good? Was it a good experience or a WOW experience? Would you be willing to go back there again? That business performed a Kind service for you. They were willing to take the extra time (actionable) to care for you with kindness.

How many horror stories have you heard about poor customer service? I bet we all could up with a few stories to share.

Some Business Owners seem to think that Kindness doesn’t effect the bottom line. Think Again! Ask yourself these questions:

  • What value are you adding to your workplace, to your customers and to your community?
  • Your bottom line depends upon what value YOU are adding to your business. Kindness is just a tool to add value to your bottom line.
  • What are you doing to create your organization to be the best place shop at or to work at?
  • Do you provide your people the opportunity to contribute their ideas or solutions?
  • Do you invest time and money in your people?
  • Do you provide workplace or customer service initiatives?
  • Do you inspire everyone to learn and grow?
