Model Kindness on Your Team
On this page
Tip
The benefits of kindness at work are well documented. But how do you actually promote caring and generosity on your team?
First, take the lead. People are highly attuned to the behaviors of high-status team members; when you give compliments to your employees, they’re likely to emulate your behavior.
Second, set aside time during Zoom meetings for a “kindness round,” in which team members are free to acknowledge and praise each other’s work. This doesn’t need to take up much time — even just a few minutes is plenty of time to boost morale and social connection.
Finally, consider small, peer-nominated spot bonuses to allow people to recognize their colleagues’ work. If you have a limited budget, a gift card or a small gift can show appreciation that goes a long way. It’s your job as a leader to set a tone of kindness on your team. These small gestures can have a big impact.

🇨🇳 在你的团队中树立友善的榜样
在工作中友善的好处是有据可查的。但如何才能真正促进团队的关心和慷慨呢?
首先，以身作则。人们对高地位团队成员的行为有高度的协调;当你赞美你的员工时，他们很可能会模仿你的行为。
第二，在 Zoom 会议期间，留出时间进行“善举”，在这轮会议中，团队成员可以自由地承认和称赞彼此的工作。这并不需要花费太多的时间——即使只是几分钟的时间，也足够提升士气和社交联系。
最后，考虑小额的、由同事提名的奖金，让人们认可他们的同事的工作。如果你的预算有限，一张礼品卡或一件小礼物可以表达你的感激之情。作为一个领导者，你的工作就是为你的团队设定一个友善的基调。这些小举动可以产生很大的影响。
