“You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.” -Anonymous

At One Kind Act a Day, we collaborate with businesses of all sizes to design customized employee culture and engagement programs centered on the transformative power of kindness.

The results are profound, fostering a more motivated workforce, stronger customer loyalty, and even enhanced relationships with vendors. Kindness, when embedded in a company’s DNA, becomes a key driver of success and growth. Here are a few more business benefits to being kind.

Businesses that prioritize kindness experience higher employee satisfaction and lower turnover rates. Happy, engaged employees are 12% more productive, which reduces costs associated with hiring and training new staff (Deloitte, 2022)

A kind workplace can improve employee well-being, reducing absenteeism and healthcare costs. According to Harvard Business Review, companies that invest in employee well-being see a $2.71 return on investment for every dollar spent on well-being initiatives (Harvard Business Review, 2021).

A study by the Reputation Institute found that companies with strong reputations and positive social impact have a 40% higher “recommendation” rate among consumers (Reputation Institute, 2018)

Please engage with One Kind Act a Day from using our resources for your business, to consultation, to applying to become a Certified Business of Kindness.
