With Valentine’s Day and Random Acts of Kindness Day in not only the same month but the same week we want to focus on love and kindness. There are many different ways you can celebrate Valentine’s Day and Random Acts of Kindness Day in your workplace. Celebrate the big and little things. Doing so makes going to work a lot more pleasant and it’s nice having a change from the day-to-day. 

Volunteer As a Team 

Get your co-workers together and volunteer or donate as a team to a non-profit organization. You and your team can participate in a charity walk or run, donate blood or organize a blood drive, get clothes together and donate, donate or volunteer at an animal shelter, and so much more. A few local non-profit organizations to look into are Carolina Youth Development Center, Father to Father, and Jean’s Angels. There are many more local nonprofits to donate or volunteer your time to as well. 

Give Your Employees Something Unexpected 

Giving your Employees something unexpected is a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day and Random Acts of Kindness Day. If you have the ability, consider giving a vacation day away to a co-worker or giving a free day to your employees. Deliver coffee to your co-workers/employees. Consider bringing in a favorite treat and dropping it in the break or conference room. Write a personal note to everyone in your office thanking them and tell them your favorite thing about them. 

Other Random Acts of Kindness 

Bring breakfast for everyone in the office. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant or pricy. Bring in bagels with some cream cheese, muffins from the bakery, fresh fruits, etc. Have a pot of coffee going too so everyone who wants to can have coffee with their breakfast. 

Have lunch together as a team. This month is a great time to focus on team building and working together. Prioritize having lunch together as a team, whether it be everyone bringing in their lunch or everyone going out to lunch together.
