    Why It's ESSENTIAL to Show Kindness at Work

    Why It's ESSENTIAL to Show Kindness at Work

    At work, it's the little things that count, and being kind to people at work is one of them.
    It's not just good karma--it has some benefits too! You might think real life isn't like school where people are always telling us "be nice!" But when we do something thoughtful for someone else at work, they'll remember it and maybe even pass on the favor or give us an opportunity in return because our act of kindness made them feel good.
    So if you want to be a successful professional, take a page from, Lewis Haag, Director of Supply, who shows you how being kind at work can lead to success.
    Enjoy!
