Answer: Research has found that kindness encourages increased health and increased emotional well-being in the workplace in the following ways:

Increases Energy Levels. Acts of kindness release a hormone called serotonin which generates a feeling of calmness and can even boost self-esteem.

Increases Positive Perspectives. Kindness also encourages the release of oxytocin which encourages optimism, lowers blood pressure, and promotes cardiovascular health.
