An avalanche of women (and men) continues revealing sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. This story is about kindness in the workplace or rather the lack thereof.
There is the story of an IT executive in the financial industry. She had just left a position she’d held for five years and was wisely taking a break to reflect on where she was in her life.
Even though she found herself somewhat uncertain about her next steps, one thing was crystal clear to her. She stated that she would consider working only for a company that fosters kindness in the workplace.
This woman executive claimed that instead of kindness at work she has too often experienced backstabbing, competition, and “I’m in it for me” attitudes from co-workers.
This time around she’s adamant that she will not settle for an unkind workplace in her next job, even though that narrows the options considerably.
How do you behave at work?
