“We will never find our own joy if we seek it for ourselves. We will only find joy if we seek it for others. Then as a group we will find it.” – Dr. Gianrico Farrugia
Mayo Clinic has exceptional employees that go above and beyond to humbly give back to others. The Employee Well-Being Team wants you to showcase your acts of kindness! In doing so, you will help inspire others to spread kindness at work and in your communities.
"Kindness Counts" is a work group challenge designed to foster greater social well-being through personal connection and teamwork.

I have seen messages in chalk along a walking path near me. It made you want to look to see what the next message was going to be. The last message was a challenge to walk the path one more time and record your extra walk with a tally mark. Great to see many tallies!

Even through all of the uncertainty during this pandemic, kids still needed school supplies! It was great to be a part of that normalcy!

The Mayo Hospice office in Rochester picked up trash this weekend! No treasure found… but lots of trash 🙂

I bought mine at the Dollar Tree. This was 2 yrs ago but I think I have seen them there recently. I typically just use gloves and a bag to get some squats in. I also bought gardening gloves from Dollar Tree when it was hard to get disposable back in March. They work great for big stuff but harder on the little.
Human Resources, Workforce Learning, Enterprise-Wide. We held a virtual staff meeting on 10-28 and opened up with a segment called "Moments of Joy". One of our colleagues asked us to submit to him random acts of kindness we had each recently taken part in. He shared this during the meeting and everyone's faces lit up. One colleague remarked that it gave her ideas for the future and another realized she does more random acts of kindness than she thought. It was an uplifting activity.

Our neighborhood has really gotten on board with the painted rocks trend. It really is fun to see people light up when they find one of these gems on their daily walks. This is one example of an act of kindness that can be done in our new normal that is cost effective and impactful. I am curious, what other acts of kindness have ya'all been seeing in our new normal?
