KindWorks is announcing the first ever Kind Company Certification based on the sustained practice of Kindness by an organization. The first certified Kind companies are proving every day that kindness is the most powerful tool for transforming workplaces, boosting productivity, and building a lasting positive impact. Beyond the business impact, people are sharing thousands of personal stories about how practicing kindness has transformed their experience both in and out of the workplace.
Recognizing the First Certified Kind Companies
KindWorks congratulates the first batch of companies that have achieved this significant accomplishment and milestone. Congratulations to Beekman 1802, Prosegur, DoubleTree by Hilton, WeWow, Contexto Legal, Mazars, Dreams Kindergarten, Compass Counseling, Ramirez Pelaez Abogados and several other confidential KindWorks partners.
By consistently practicing Kindness and exercising their kindness muscles, the people at these organizations are transforming the foundational culture of their organizations with each moment of kindness. The employees at these companies are consistently practicing kindness with Beni, a friendly AI agent who shares Kindness prompts and exercises to build habits and cultures of kindness. These companies are proving that kindness has both a proven positive impact on people (+27% feeling connected, +16% feeling appreciated) and also drives business results (11% decrease in absenteeism, .6 correlation between stronger sales and more kindness practiced). Their commitment to practicing Kindness is proof that there is a win-win solution for businesses and employees, and this is making it possible to steer the future of work.
“We are thrilled to recognize the companies that are leading the way and that are helping us shape the new future of work, one where Kindness helps leaders bring the best out of their team and where everyone feels valued and supported,” stated Daniel Lozano, CEO and founder of Kindworks.AI.
The importance of Kindness in the workplace cannot be overstated to respond to the employee disconnection and disengagement crisis we are living through. Surveys indicate that 77% of employees are disengaged, and over half are considering quitting. For each employee that leaves, a company spends more than 2.5x that employee’s salary on costs to replace the individual. The global disengagement costs a whopping $8 billion in lost productivity alone. The root cause lies in a fundamental misunderstanding of how people work. Most enterprise cultures and leadership lack empathy, connection, and the kindness that is mandatory in today’s work environments. Kindness is a skill that can be practiced and KindWorks clients are realizing the enormous benefits of bringing the practice of kindness to their workplaces.
Unlock your team’s full potential with Kindness
Kindness is the most powerful skill that all humans have to feel better and work better. When leaders want to bring out the best in their people and deliver at peak performance, they turn to KindWorks. Traditional solutions like increased compensation and perks offer illusional and short-sighted relief since they fail to address the underlying issues. What science has long understood, and businesses are increasingly realizing is that the solution lies in simple acts of kindness.
