People first, work second.

Text reading “people first, work second, always” around a medal podium with a number one ribbon on the tallest podium and the word “people” on that platform, and “work” on the second place platform. In the corner is the book Kind by Graham Allcott.

How does kindness show up in your workplace?

“I experienced kindness from one of my clients this morning. When I explained that a tricky family situation meant that I wasn’t able to start my work for her until later in the day, she replied immediately to say “Work can wait”.

She literally used these words and it was such a relief to know that I could deal with a difficult personal situation and not have to worry about anything else.”

This is such a great reminder of Graham Allcott’s people first, work second message that we really love.

Let’s hear your examples of kindness at work.
